A second type of intellectual property protection, unique to the U.S., is the Plant Patent. The requirements for obtaining a plant patent are similar to those for obtaining a utility patent and the term of a plant patent is the same as that of a utility patent. The plant patent is available for asexually reproduced plants only.
