I wanted to say I should have stuck with my first thought, or to do, and that was just add the patent information. But then, in one way, not for any that it caused any extra work, but for myself, I ended up learning from the whole matter. I had no idea what ™ or ® meant and how they worked.
So honestly, I really didn't have a good idea what I was doing in respect to the TM and especially entering it in the database.
For instance now, in perusing the catalog, I see a series of Dianthus. They are all patented, and I didn't see the first one I looked up in the database. These are the Scent First® Series:
trade name = Coconut Surprise
trade name = Passion
trade name = Romance
trade name = Sugar Plum / how does one find the "cultivar name"? Is it usually the same, or different from the trade name.
So then I looked at Echinacea Sundown, which is the Big Sky™ Series, to see it's entry in the database. I see how I totally had things messed up in entering the data for the lilies. And
@pardalinum you are correct in that it's probably best that I just leave that information out, or notify zuzu of my thoughts with respect to that information, and the moderators can take it from there.
