Hi,
Monsanto have been granted patents on
a. The traditional wheat used to make chapatis (indian bread)
b. The use of the wheat to make chapatis

How much more of a mockery of patent law can companies create
without destroying it completely? actual patent law certainly isn't
rational and surely must become unreal pretty soon...
Graham
So surely this patent must be completely unenforceable -
do they really think they can charge people who make bread the
tradtional way? - they have now made such a mockery of patent law
that they have effectively destroyed it.
