Hello, Just a question for the common sense veteran's out there, please. I have a strain I want to protect. What is the best way to record, document, and patent my strain(s)?
Are there any breeders who have attempted to copyright their seeds and cuts? Many of us foresee upcoming industry theft and genetic appropriation becoming a huge problem soon-much more so than what has been encountered so far and by corporate monopolies who have legal teams on salary. Other than DNA testing and documentation, what would the process for the independent small businessperson be?
1. you dont own the weed!
2. it's impossible to patent a variety without DNA splicing.
3. you can patent the name,, that's all
4. the moment you sell the genetics,, someone else (the buyer) owns them!
Hope this helps
