UNDER PATENT
Still under patent. Protection ends May 30, 2029.
Twenty years from the filing date would end on July 12, 2031, but this patent ends 773 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.
