Subject: [NAFEX] Prima apple plant patent question
Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2010 02:33:39 GMT
By all rights it seems that Prima's patent (issued in the '80s) should have run out by now, but I was surprised to see on the Purdue site that they say the patent has been re-issued. Only thing is that when I tried typing their new number in to the US Patent and Trademark Office site, I got a message saying that no such number exists. Does anyone out there know if it is possible to renew plant patents?
