FTA: "The Supreme Court took up the case against the advice of the Obama administration, which said the Federal Circuit reached the right conclusion in the case."
Is there any doubt who's side the president is on in this matter?
- emehrkay 14y agoMonsanto's business practices are the perfect example of what is wrong with the patent system/big corporate interests taking precedence. They've successfully sued people for cross pollination; engineered seeds who do not produce children; used their standing to get those seeds in just about every market; and they want, and will probably get, their way when it comes to labeling of foods grown with the genetically modified seeds. You brought up Obama's stance on this, but I honestly haven't heard any presidential candidate; third, fourth, or fifth party; talk about changing this nonsense.
