This is pure FUD and has never happened. If you are ready to stop spreading false propaganda, you can go to Wikipedia and read what really happened in those cases: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_legal_cases http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_legal_cases

- fragmede 12y agoFrom that Wikipedia page: In 2002, Monsanto mistakenly sued Gary Rinehart of Eagleville, Missouri for patent violation. Rinehart was not a farmer or seed dealer which seems to contradict your claim that it has "never happened".
- daeken 12y agoThey mistakenly sued him -- that part is the mistake. The mistake was not them suing at all, because the people actually operating the land were, in fact, violating their patents; they just mistakenly thought that he was one of the people using that land at the time.
- sampo 12y agoOh, you even stopped quoting in mid-sentence. Isn't that a bit dirty? Let me quote a bit more: "In 2002, Monsanto mistakenly sued Gary Rinehart of Eagleville, Missouri for patent violation. Rinehart was not a farmer or seed dealer, but sharecropped land with his brother and nephew, who were violating the patent. Monsanto dropped the lawsuit against him when it discovered the mistake."
- sampo 12y ago> seems to contradict No it does not. What /u/nodata wrote was: "...for accidentally having a field next to..." and Gary Rinehart was not sued for accidentally having his field next to whatever. He was sued for some other reason. (Not a good reason, but other reason anyway.)
