Over the years, MON, DD, Bayer, Dow, BASF and SYT, among the bigger players, should have cross-licensed each other initially, rather than litigate the H____l out of each other---thus presenting a marketing juggernaut and collaboration in all markets. I do not know whether that approach would have been more successful or not, but at least it would have saved a lot of litigation costs and lawyer fees[of which I had a share].
