Searching the patent office for “pixie AND crunch AND apple” turned up
no results. Is it patented under another name?
According to the original posting, Pixie Crunch is the trademarked name,
not the patent name:
"A little Googling and patent search reveals that Pixie Crunch (TM) is a
trademarked name, which in turn represents the Co-Op 33 cultivar out of
Purdue, which is patented as PP 13,871, with patent application date
December 21, 2001. (Patent issued June 2003.)"
