Question:There are plant patents for anyone who invents or discovers new types of plants.
Answer:
Patents on plants to anyone who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces any distinct and new variety of plant.
Question:What are Credit Patents?
Answer:
Credit patents are similar to Cash; lands could be purchased under the Land Law of 1800 from the General Land Office. This credit system allowed purchasers to pay in installments over a four-year period. A delinquent payment or non-payment of the full balance resulted in forfeiture to the U.S. Because of the economic hardship Congress quickly abandoned the credit system and through the Act of April 24, 1820 required full payment for land to be made at the time of purchase.
