“Monsanto’s entire case against Vernon Bowman — as with Percy Schmeiser — is that their profits will be negatively affected if they’e not empowered to dictate what Vernon Bowman does on his own land and with his own stuff. The relief they’re requesting is that the state should therefore so empower them. This is not a case of a ‘bad’ or ‘over-broad’ or ‘improperly applied’ patent. By its very nature, ‘intellectual property’ always represents an assertion on the part of one person of ownership title to the minds, bodies and property of others.”
