US Plant Patent PP23680

MBS 1001

Miscanthus plant named ‘MBS 1001’

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.
