On: Monsanto wins landmark patent case in Supreme Court

[hayksaakian]

but isn't the main crux of the case the fact that monsanto changes roundup every year such that only the new strain soybeans is resistent to it?

if roundup was readily copy-able, how could this be possible?

[jcampbell1 → hayksaakian]

Everything you wrote is completely confused. Monsanto doesn't invent a new strain of herbicide resistant crops every year. Roundup doesn't change. It is a trade name for a chemical with an expired patent, and many different companies make it.
