bankrupting them for patent violations


The seeds are for one season to grow the plants that you pay for. If you try use their proprietary material to make more seeds, to use yourself or sale, then you are violating their patent material. If you dont like it, dont buy their seed its as simple as that.

Except if your field is accidentally cross-pollinated by their proprietary seeds, and you collect seeds from your crop and use them the next year, they will sue the shite out of you.
