Bowman v. Monsanto Co., 569 U.S. 278 (2013), was a United States Supreme Court patent decision in which the Court unanimously affirmed the decision of the Federal Circuit that the patent exhaustion doctrine does not permit a farmer to plant and grow saved, patented seeds without the patent owner's permission.Don't know if genetics are patented ??

Great point, I forgot about this. What a time to be alive.Bowman v.

Doesn't Monsanto sues anyone growing soybeans that doesn't buy the seeds from them? Farmers of soybeans in the US I believe have been sued if they harvest their own crop and keep out enough to plant again the next year. Problem was that say your neighbors grow a soybean crop and it pollinates your crop with Monsanto's genetically modified soybean pollen.
You harvest your soybeans and Monsanto sues you for using their genetics. Your crop is seized or sampled and since it was pollinated by your neighbor's soybean crop you are on the hook.
