Red bayberry plant named ‘N1MR09’

UNDER PATENT

Still under patent. Protection ends June 25, 2032.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on June 9, 2034, but this patent ends 714 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.
