Might be slightly unrelates, but does this help with stopping companies from patenting living organisms?
That's my main worry regarding patents: that a patented crop will disperse its seeds and mix with non-patented crops and all of a sudden people can't grow wheat without paying a fee.
- nojvek 9y agoThat's already being done by Monsanto seeds right? The U.S patent system, like the S&P 500 rating agencies let almost everything pass through with an AAA rating, because they make a ton of money if people keep on filing patents. $5k-$15k on a single patent. It's a billion dollar revenue business. "You can't make someone understand something, when their livelihood is based on not understanding it"
