Here is an idea that will work for some plants such as winter squash. Do not sell the seed. Grow the plant and sell the fruit. Remove all male flowers from the OP variety and grow another variety as the pollinizer. Thus folks can enjoy the OP fruit but not be OP seed. At least for a while this can be kept up in a specific locale to generate some hype, sales and appreciation for the 10 years of work to create it, without other growers getting in one the deal for pennies.

For tomatoes and other perfect flowered plants, this would be too much work for most sane people.
