So it caught our attention last week when a lawyer representing Monsanto in federal court seemed to admit that suing Schmeiser had been a mistake that the company would not repeat.
Under Waxman’s common-sense standard, Monsanto wouldn’t have brought its case against Schmeiser. That’s because in that case, the company did not produce any evidence that Schmeiser was taking advantage of Monsanto’s technology by spraying his crop with Roundup.
