Scot,
I don't think anyone can claim a patent to VC because it's a natural hybrid from the Philippines. That would be like claiming a patent to Saba or Praying Hands. At least with Praying Hands, one can claim a Copyright, but not a patent, because that name is not the common name in the place of origin.

So, do you have a VC corm for TC'ing already? Or are you referring to the first corm that GB will be sending you?
