Cal. Food & Agric. Code § 52255.5 — Short Title and Definitions is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
“Noncommercial seed sharing activity” means the receiving or giving away of seed by a noncommercial entity without the creation of a contractual obligation or an expectation to receive anything of value in return. This definition does not prohibit a noncommercial entity engaging in noncommercial seed sharing activity from receiving the progeny of the seeds it distributes to the extent that the activity does not violate the federal Plant Variety Protection Act (7 U.S.C. Sec. 2321 et seq.). Noncommercial seed sharing activity does not include receiving, storing, or distributing patented seed.
