However, I discovered that a Dutch breeder got a patent on Phal Papagayo in 2012 (how they did that is another issue, plants are difficult to patent in the EU) US20140090127P1 - Phalaenopsis orchid plant named 'PAPAGAYO'
- Google Patents and the parents are listed as King Shiang's Rose x King Shiang's Star, mutant B. I don't see how they could get the patent seeing as the RHS registration predates the patent application, and so removing the novelty aspect. |
Wow! Didn't think that could happen. Is there anyone who could/should be contacted to see if there is more to the story?
