U.S. farmers may be sued by Monsanto for “patent infringement”, if their products are found to be contaminated above 1% by the company’s GMOs. At least this contradicts the 5% tolerated contamination limit for biological products! On the other hand, at the other side of the world, Western Australian Supreme Court rejected a farmer’s claims that his organic farm was contaminated by a neighboring GM plantation, on account of which the farm was decertified (article by Xiao Zhi Lim, May 28, 2014). In the absence of (legitimately acknowledged) contamination, then, how can the patent be “infringed”?
