> In fact, if seeds from your neighbor's field are blown over by the wind to your field, and you harvest those, you can be sued for patent infringement I don't like Monsanto, but nothing I've read indicates this alone is sufficient to lose a lawsuit. In the case I assume you're referring to, the farmer didn't lose because harvested a few plants that had blown into his field. He lost because he then killed off his non-resistant plants with Roundup, intentionally collected the seeds from the remaining Monsanto plants, and replanted his entire field with them the next year. http://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/2147/index.do http://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/2147/index....
