517 In the US, the first plant patent, for the “New Dawn” rose, was granted in 1930. Crucial laws were passed in 1970—the Plant Variety Protection Act—and 1985, when the Patent and Trademark Office ruled that “any type of plant could in principle be patented.” Glenn E. Bugos and Daniel J. Kevles, “Plants as intellectual property: American practice, law, and policy in world context,” Osiris, 2nd series, Vol. 7, Issue Science after ’40 (1992), pp. 74-104.
