A plant patent gives its owner the right to stop others from copying the plant asexually. It also blocks others from using, selling, offering to sell, or importing that plant or its parts.

A plant patent grants a specific right: the right to stop other people from asexually reproducing the patented plant. This right also covers the plant once it has been reproduced this way. The patent owner can stop others from using it, offering it for sale, or selling it — including any of its parts — anywhere in the United States. The owner can also stop others from importing the asexually reproduced plant, or any of its parts, into the United States.
