End User License Agreements on grapes

lundi 23 novembre 2020 à 01:00

A confused article speaks of grapes that carry end-user license agreements.

The confusion is to conflate patents with shrink-wrap licenses.

Plants can be covered by patents. If so, propagating them is patent infringement. But that has nothing to do with putting a label on a bag purporting to impose restrictions on the purchaser. From what I recall, that is not legally valid in the US, except for software.
