US Plant Patent PP35613

BAIful

Hydrangea plant named ‘BAIful’

UNDER PATENT

Still under patent. Protection ends May 2, 2042.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on April 25, 2043, but this patent ends 358 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.
