Patent Plants

The owner of a plant has the right to exclude others from asexually reproducing the plant or selling or using the plant so reproduced. The patent is infringed by any one of these acts. Since those selling or using plants that have been unlawfully asexually reproduced are also liable for plant patent infringement, infringement damages may be significantly greater for those improperly using infringing plants to produce commercial products or crops. All of our muscadines that are patented cannot be propagated for any reason, for self use, for resale to others, or for breeding work without direct written consent from Ison's Nursery. Anyone found in violation will be prosecuted.
