There's a difference between ressources and IP.
Is there? If I steal a prototype from a company or tea saplings and ruin the companies business? If there is any it looks very superficial to me.
If there was a plant that is not green, would it have last as long? Just wondering if the photosynthesis is only exclusive to green plants.

The only thing that almost killed it was direct sunlight, I think it got too hot and all the moisture was pulled out to the top.
After initial transportation failures, sealed terrariums were used by Robert Fortune to send stolen tea seedlings from China to India,[1] thus helping the British to break the nineteenth Century Chinese monopoly on tea production. [1] https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H9J1AM2/
Funny wording to use "break" for IP theft, it looks different when the British do it compared to when the Chinese do it, doesn't it?

There are other pigments that cannot photosynthesise on their own, but can pass the energy to chlorophyll to react, as well. So while green usually means photosynthesis, absence of green does not mean absence thereof.

IP rights are an exchange of temporary protection for ideas and implementation, in order to encourage both innovation and disclosure.

There is a puprle earth hypothesis and Haloarchaea, which is based on witamin A related molecule for photosythesis, but those are not classified as plants.
The current theory for inception of plants is that one cell captured another chlorophyllic one and created symbiotic organism, which later evolved into multicelluar plants. So by definition plants should be green for phototrophy ("feeding on light"), until it would somehow evolved chlorophyllic cells, but ot seems they are older than plantae themselves.
Btw. similar theory exists for mitochondria and eukaryota, that's why we speak of my mitochondrial DNA.
Can plants be used to clean pollutants from the atmosphere in a space station? Maybe not: https://www.gardenmyths.com/garden-myth-born-plants-dont-pur... https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/03/indoor-p...
It seems like as a rough approximation your plants would need to grow at least as much biomass as you eat every day.
