I'm curious if they have a plant patent on this variety, it wouldn't be valid outside the USA and given that it's also written in French I assume they sell outside the USA. I think this text is probably meant to protect the IP outside the USA mostly if they have a plant patent, seems like an interesting legal strategy.

I've also had these grapes and never noticed the text, I wonder if it is new, and yes these grapes taste amazing! They are super sweet, and a slightly different almost artificial seeming flavor.

Cotton candy grapes are definitely patented. They've got another 10 years of patent life left IIRC
Thanks
