US Plant Patent PP28124

PIETRO #3

Artichoke plant named ‘PIETRO #3’

UNDER PATENT

Still under patent. Protection ends April 1, 2033.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on December 13, 2033, but this patent ends 256 days earlier — a terminal disclaimer gives term back. A source that calculates twenty years from filing would tell you this plant is still protected when it is already free.
