I'd much rather Adam B or one of the legal minds here posted a good discussion on what the implications are in the unanimous ruling earlier today that an Indiana farmer who had an agreement with Monsanto, but who then bought seed from a grain elevator, with the presumption, but not the knowledge that the seed contained descendents of Round-up Ready seed and who then planted that seed was guilty of patent infringement.
I also think I may have written longer sentences in my life but not many.
If I missed the hot diary on the topic today, I apologize, but I would have expected the decision that patents survive generations of crops would attract the attention of the Kosnocenti.
I also would love to get an informed opinion of how this applies to farmers who haevn't signed these agreements with Monsanto.
So there you go. I didn't want to write the diary on this one, but if my crappy diary inspires a better one or a good discussion on the topic, there you go.
