Ok, I just did more research. Baja_Costero, you are correct. Apparently theres a lot of misinformation going around...
Seedling and sexual reproduction of a patented plant is also a violation of the patent.
"It is a violation of a plant patent if you propagate the plant in any asexual way. That includes rooting cuttings from a patented plant, but it also includes planting the "daughters" of a patented strawberry mother plant in your garden. Seeds can also be protected by patents. The Plant Variety Protection Act of 1970 allows patent protection for unique seed varieties that have not been sold in the country for more than a year."
