This is really scary...

  ...only if you are a farmer knowingly planting unlicensed monsanto seed in your field with the hopes that the patent wouldn't hold up in court.

    And after you signed a contract agreeing not to do that.... 9-0 decisions are easy when the facts of a case are so clear cut.

    What's interesting in this case is that, in my opinion, the Court ruled correctly; the problem isn't the courts ruling. It's the fact that the law is the way it is: perhaps organism patents should be legal, but the Monsanto situation seems to be a gross exploitation of the current system. Under the current law, yes, the farmer was in the wrong. It just seems like the current law might need to be changed.

    Which is inevitable if you have a non-Monsanto farm near a Monsanto farm. It's scary.

    How is the farmer supposed to source non-Monsanto seeds? How would he verify that seeds were from Monsanto or not?
