Percy Schmeiser
Percy Schmeiser (born January 5, 1930) is a farmer from Bruno, Saskatchewan, Canada. He specializes in breeding and growing canola. He became an international symbol and spokesperson for independent farmers' rights and the regulation of transgenic crops during his protracted legal battle with multinational agrichemical company Monsanto. He was the subject of the 2009 film ''David Versus Monsanto''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Journeyman Pictures : documentaries : David Vs Monsanto )〕
== Monsanto v. Schmeiser==
(詳細はRoundup Ready Canola” plants growing near his farm. He testified that he sprayed his nearby field and found that much of the crop survived, meaning it was also Roundup Ready.〔Federal court of Canada. (Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser Date: 20010329 Docket: T-1593-98 ) Retrieved November 25, 2012.〕 He testified that he then harvested that crop, saved it separately from his other harvest, and intentionally planted it in 1998.〔 Monsanto approached him to pay a license fee for using Monsanto's patented technology without a license. Schmeiser refused, claiming that the actual seed was his because it was grown on his land, and so Monsanto sued Schmeiser for patent infringement on August 6, 1998.〔
For the next several years, the case traveled through the Canadian court system. Meanwhile, Schmeiser became a popular figure among those opposed to genetic engineering. He accepted speaking engagements around the world. Ultimately, a Supreme Court 5-4 ruling found in favor of Monsanto, because Monsanto owned a valid patent and Schmeiser violated the patent by intentionally replanting the Roundup Ready seed that he had saved.〔(Canadian Supreme Court Decision )〕
