I will not ever attempt to patent, or allow something I helped developed to be patented.
If I develop a variety of potato from TPS and it has one or more Maori type potatoes in the pedigree I would like to use a Maori word comprising an attributive adjective modifying a proper noun using the Maori language. It kinda keeps the NZ connection alive for easy historical reference.
I suspect that I could offer up a name without approval but sometimes the very act of asking for approval is part of the story. I could name a potato
Heahea
which means silly in Maori, and pronouce it like HeeHee...the laugh. However I think a name should be more romantic than that. Like New Zealand Mountain Face....
