Strawberry plant named ‘UCD Valiant’

UNDER PATENT

Still under patent. Protection ends June 3, 2035.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on April 1, 2039, but this patent ends 1,398 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.
