Reuters: Organic farmers sue, seek protection from Monsanto

Per Reuters: "A consortium of U.S. organic farmers and seed dealers filed suit against global seed giant Monsanto Co., in a move to protect themselves from what they see as a growing threat in the company's arsenal of genetically modified crops.
The Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) filed the suit on behalf of more than 50 organizations challenging the agricultural giant's patents on its genetically modified seeds. The group is seeking a ruling that would prohibit Monsanto from suing the farmers or dealers if their organic seed becomes contaminated with Monsanto's patented biotech seed germplasm."
