PRODUCTION OF NEW PLANTS POINTED COMPARISONS P.A. WELLINGTON. Aug.. 11. A man who: devises, a more efficient mouse trap, a new. synthetic building material, or a. machine that' doubles the output of clothes pegs has no difficulty in patenting his invention, but what is there to protect the interests of a horticulturist who might spend 10 or 20 years breeding a new plant variety? This question was discussed to-day before the Patents Commission, which heard evidence on proposals to extend patent rights to producers of new horticultural plants in New Zealand. Submissions are being heard from the New Zealand Institute of Horticulture.
