Hey Tony,
You did it again! It is a very good article! Now we are not afraid any
more. All of our patented plants are named and sold only on patent and
not on cultivar name. But everywhere in catalogues we saw only the
patented name not cultivar name, moreover, we have ordered tulips, and
there were no sign of patent , but on the invoice there was. This is
what you were talking about as invalid trademarks.
Ver(r)y funny... Ha ha for others who did not read the article.
thank you for calling up my attention tho your findings!
Are there any other aroids which are trademarked (excluding Anthuriums
and Zantedeschias)?
Does anybody has experience with Timber Press? Any opinions about the
Aroid book (anybody can respond...)?
Bye,
Jani

Jani:
You brought up an interesting point about names. Internationally,
there can only be one valid cultivar name for a plant...not one for the
US and one for Europe. The improper dual plant naming is caused
primarily by people who either don't understand or are trying to
illegally circumvent trademark law. I understand that the EU Plant
Varieties Act actually requires a new plant to have a non-sensical
cultivar name which isn't a real word. If so, this violates the entire
spirit of the International Nomenclature Code. If this is true, I find
it bizarre that members of the International Nomenclature Code
committee haven't put an end to this terrible practice. Wilbert...feel
free to chime in. If you would like to read more about this problem,
you can find my article, The Trademark Myth at http://www.plantdelights.com/Tony/trademark.html

Dear Marek,
Your Zantadeschia might be Anneke. (Picture
attached.)
It is common, that if a variety is protected,
2 names are given to a variety, one for America and one for Europe. A
man in Hungary is breeding Oxalis. He have got 3 new varieties. Oxalis
triangularis Xalis (TM) 'Black Velvet', 'Frosted Jade', and 'Burgundy
Wine', but in America they are called different (now I cannot remember).
And that is another funny thing if a breeder
is coming out with a new variety in 1-3 years time many other look
alikes will be introduced too under a different name and usally it is
not protected.
Another:
Who has got the Aroids book. What is your
opinion about the book? Did you ever ordered anything from Timber Press?
Bye,
Jani
