Kalanchoe plant named ‘Pellinore’

PUBLIC DOMAIN

Patent expired February 23, 2022. This plant is in the public domain — anyone may propagate and sell it.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on August 27, 2024, but this patent ends 916 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.
