Clematis plant named 'UNAI 005'Despite the shift from the Patent and Trademark Depository Library designation to our new Patent and Trademark Resource Center status, one vestige of over 140 years of being a patent depository remains. Color images for Plant Patents are only available in print, and are still being received here at SIBL in paper format. This seems like a good opportunity to take a look at some of the most recent ones we've received here, and so we've done a bunch of QAD color image scans. Please take a look...

Chrysanthemum plant named 'Synjac Peafus'Clematis plant named 'Zodaki'I guess before proceeding, I should add a couple words of warning. Because of variations in scanners, scanning software, browsers and computer screens, among other factors, the colors you see on our digital images cannot be exactly the same as those on the paper copies. These digital versions are not official, and are not reliable for a prior art plant patent search. The official versions are only available in paper, and can be found here at SIBL under call number JSM 99-245. While these pictures are fine for a preliminary look, you cannot rely on them or any images derived from them for legal or similar uses. That said, particularly for those folks who want to see some "previews" of upcoming gardening catalogs, please do give these a glance. Enjoy!
