While farmers Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins like Bowman

While farmers Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins like Bowman, may have the right to use commodityseeds as feed, or for any other conceivable use, they cannot'replicate' Monsanto's patented technology by planting it in theground to create newly infringing genetic material, seeds, andplants, the appeals court added.

Bowman appealed, urging the Supreme Court to analyse whether thelaw allows patent holders to continue to assert patent rights after an authorised sale.

Monsanto's licensing terms allowed farmers to sell the seedproduced by one Roundup Ready crop to grain elevators. But theterms also forbid unauthorised planting of those seeds.

Practically, this issue affects every farmer in the country andthe method of planting that farmers such as Mr Bowman have used forgenerations, Bowman's attorneys wrote in their petition to theSupreme Court.

The court, which decided 8 October to review the case, did notindicate when it would hold oral arguments.
