On March 29, 2011, on behalf of 60 family farmers, seed businesses and organic agricultural organizations, the Public Patent Foundation at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (PUBPAT) filed suit against Monsanto Company to challenge the chemical giant’s patents on genetically modified seed.
The organic plaintiffs were forced to sue pre-emptively to protect themselves from being accused of patent infringement should they ever become contaminated by Monsanto's genetically modified seed.
