Still under patent. Protection ends May 1, 2029.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on September 4, 2029, but this patent ends 126 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.
