MON -- Interesting argument by the farmer. He bought the seeds from a third party, thus did not sign a contract with Monsanto governing their use. He used Round-Up to pick resistant plants, and went on from there.

Similar to reverse-engineering but easier. The Supreme Court doesn't seem to be buying it.

When do patents on Round-Up expire? Soon I assume.

“The exhaustion doctrine permits you to use the good that you buy,” she said. “It never permits you to make another item from that item you bought.”




too bad this doesn't apply to MNTA's enox patents
