A group of
organic-grower organizations has filed an appeal against a New York court
decision that dismissed their challenge of Monsanto.
The
organic growers are seeking immunity from Monsanto’s patent-infringement
challenges.
Lawyer Dan
Ravincher said when he filed the appeal Wednesday that farmers have the right
to protect themselves from being falsely accused of patent infringement by
Monsanto.
Percy
Schmeiser of Saskatchewan is among those who have filed the appeal. He fought, and lost, in court when
Monsanto accused him of planting Roundup-Ready canola.
