This Houseplant is Patented

Filed under: open — Wendy @ 8:54 am

I ran across this purportedly patented plant at Trader Joe’s. (full label) I didn’t buy it for fear it would send off a runner and get me sued for patent infringement. After all Grant of a patent for a plant precludes others from asexually reproducing or selling or using the patented plant, and I don’t want to become another example like the Canadian farmer whose fields were contaminated with Monsanto’s “Roundup-Ready” canola.
