The company that proclaims itself as the world's largest producer of hybrid vegetable seeds has patented a grape tomato hybrid designated as EX01419137. According to the patent information, available on the internet, the parents of this hybrid were both developed by selfing 'Santa' to get two stable op lines, which were then crossed to make the new hybrid. Looks like they just reinvented the wheel and claimed rights to it for themselves. Any thoughts?
