A month or so ago, my friend and colleague Drew Kershen, along with Thomas Reddick, presented a webinar discussing the Syngenta corn litigation. \u00a0[To view and listen to webinar, click here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The webinar offered a variety of interesting information related to this case, the underlying legal issues, and policy implications that a verdict may have. \u00a0First, Drew sets forth the facts and outcomes of two prior cases that are somewhat similar to the Syngenta case: the Starlink corn case and the Liberty Link rice case. \u00a0Next, the webinar covers the basic facts and background surrounding the Syngenta litigation. \u00a0Admittedly, I learned a few new facts that I was not previously aware of. \u00a0Then, the presenters discussed some of the key legal issues in the case, including whether China is a “major” market as alleged, whether a verdict in this case might impede future innovation in biotech crops, and whether the US should allow a foreign trading partner to dictate what crops should be grown in the United States. \u00a0In conclusion, the presenters shared their thoughts on some additional policy issues impacting this case.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in the Syngenta litigation, or in biotechnology and crops in general, I would highly recommend you check out this webinar.<\/p>\n
