US Plant Patent PP23321

MBS 0006

Miscanthus plant named ‘MBS 0006’

UNDER PATENT

Still under patent. Protection ends May 1, 2029.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on February 22, 2032, but this patent ends 1,027 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.
