The Judges didn't decide on breach of contract!
If I - one who has
never entered any contract/license with Monsanto - went to the grain thingy and
purchased "seeds meant to consume" and used them for planting purposes -
spraying with roundup (deliberately overdoing that? the case wasn't clear on
this), re-harvesting from that crop and re-planting:
The ruling is crystal
clear - I can expect to be found infringing the patent!
