[nafex] Patent Rights/Royalties



Maybe this could be answered by those on this list who are in the 
nursery industry (or by lawyer if there are any on this list):

Someone recently queried me if it was a patent violation if someone 
exchanged scion wood that was patented if no fee was charged by the 
provider of the wood. I ventured the opinion that I thought it was a 
violation, but I am not a professional nursery person.

I also believe I've read that the first generation progency of 
patented varieties may fall under patent protection - is this also 
true?

Thanks,
