What do you think, Lynn?
I'll venture a suggestion. A check box in the Miscellaneous section of the databox might work. Checking "Patented" would be similar to checking something like "Endangered" since all currently endangered plants won't necessarily remain that way forever just like patented plants don't remain that way forever. Maybe when it was checked, the magic line would appear like it does other places and we could fill in the patent number or year of patent expiration if we have that information. If not, I suppose the line could just remain blank? I don't know. Just a suggestion. It needs to be something that will work for everyone across the board, and I don't know where else it would go?
