Am surprised even need to explain on this forum of coders. Many examples of bad boy software patents.
Here is the patent for the FC5 potato.

Read it carefully because while the patent claims that it also would apply if transgenic modifications are added, the variety was developed through just classic breeding techniques, which are described in the patent in case you aren’t familiar.
If everyone who bred a potato patented it, we all suffer as breeders would be limited in what they can work with.
