Kip -thanks for your input....and patience !
If I crossed Equestris A with Equestris B and had a seedling Equestris C which I then patented, what would happen
1) if someone used Equestris C as a hybrid and produced seed ? I am thinking that I would not be covered unless C has a specific "invention" characteristic that I mentioned in the patent registration ?
2) if someone cloned C ? I think that this would be patent infringement.
