The Plant Patent Act was passed by Congress on May 13, 1930... It was the first legislation anywhere in the world to grant patent rights to plant breeders and was enacted to "afford agriculture, so far as practicable, the same opportunity to participate in the benefits of the patent system as has been given to industry, and thus assist in placing agriculture on a basis of economic equality with industry.

The grant of a right of pre-emption entitles the grantee to become a preferred purchaser if and when the grantor decides to sell his land. A right of this kind is sometimes termed a right of first refusal, which is something of a misnomer since the grantee contracts for the opportunity to accept an offer rather than an opportunity to refuse one.(Barnsley, p. 41) 1, record 3, English, - right%20of%20first%20refusal
