[Apple-Crop] Patents

[David Doud]

Foundation Plant Services at UC Davis provides such a service - http://fps.ucdavis.edu/dnamain.cfm  - 

let us know how this works with your patent application - I doubt it will substitute for any of the phenological observations that are required, but if they allow it to remain as part of the application I don’t see the downside to having it in the record - it’s labor intensive and a bit frustrating to have to use the form developed nearly 100 years ago to demonstrate the uniqueness of a variety when we have this technology that can do it definitively and cheaply -

I searched google and found Biogentics Lab offer this service, anybody have any experience here?  What should this cost?   Lee Elliott, Upstart Nursery, Winchester, Illinois
