I have an idea. Before you release a new OP tomato, you should plaster photographs of it everywhere. Then, when someone else inevitably tries selling your variety, even if they take their own photo, we'll sue them over the photo, claiming it is substantially similar to yours. IP law rewards those who are aggressively litigious.
