	Monsanto Announces Seed Quality Initiative
		Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) today continued implementation of the New Monsanto Pledge by launching a new initiative to enhance the company's seed quality leadership by producing a consistently high level of quality in the finished product delivered to the farmer.
		Contract producers of soybean seed for Monsanto are being encouraged to voluntarily complete their own ISO registration process.
		Monsanto President and Chief Executive Officer Hendrik Verfaillie announced the pledge five months ago, committing to dialogue with interested parties; transparency with information and regulation; respect for religious, cultural and ethical concerns; sharing of knowledge and technology; and benefits for growers and the environment.

	MycogenPlant Science et al. v. Monsanto
		Similarly, a finding that Monsanto reduced the four-step invention of the ’600 patent to practice before September 9, 1988 (the date on which it is undisputed that Mycogen reduced the invention to practice), necessarily means that Monsanto also reduced the two-step invention of the ’831 patent to practice before September 9, 1988.
		Monsanto argues that, in the event the ’831 process claims are not found invalid under section 102(g), we should nonetheless affirm the district court’s summary judgment of invalidity on the ground that the claims are not enabled under 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 1.
		Monsanto further contends that we should uphold the summary judgment of invalidity based on lack of enablement even though the district court did not reach the enablement issue in its summary judgment ruling.

	Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser
		According to the case law, it is no bar to a finding of infringement that the patented object or process is a part of or composes a broader unpatented structure or process, provided the patented invention is significant or important to the defendant’s activities that involve the unpatented structure.
		Monsanto’s monopoly enabled it to charge a licensing fee of $15 per acre to farmers wishing to grow canola plants with the patented genes and cells.
		It is rare that patented components or processes are used in isolation; without this principle, an infringer could use the invention to his advantage, and take shelter in the excuse that he or she was not using the invention in isolation.

		Monsanto's absolute claims that Roundup "will not wash or leach in the soil" is not accurate because glyphosate, the active ingredient, may move through some types of soil under some conditions after application, in particular, soil particles with glyphosate bound to them can "wash" through or over soils.

		Monsanto awaits decisions on separate submissions for its corn trait technologies stacked with NK603 corn.
		Monsanto’s preliminary 2004 sales data suggests acres planted with Roundup Ready Corn are expanding in the United States; acres planted are expected to increase for a seventh consecutive season and it is estimated to be planted on 16 million acres this season, up from 12 million acres last year.

		Our first clear experience with Monsanto involved cow health trials that were being conducted by Monsanto at the University of Vermont.Throughout that process both Monsanto and UVM researchers consistently stated to the public, policy-makers, and the media that there were absolutely no health problems associated with the injection of rBGH into cows.
		I would argue that, from Monsanto's point of view, it is very beneficial to them as manufacturers to transfer responsibilities for any problems with the drug from their company to the farmer.
		Basically, Monsanto is making public statements in all their material that are completely contrary to all the results of the research and completely contradictory to the label insert that is sold with the drug which lists, as you know, about 20 different, potentially very serious, side effects.

		It has also significantly benefited the environment by minimizing the amount of carbon dioxide that would have been emitted to the atmosphere by nearly 100 million pounds per year, by dramatically reducing the energy requirements to produce glyphosate and by substantially reducing the amount of waste that would have been created.

		Monsanto also wanted a system that was easy to implement.

		The proposed "National Stakeholder" dialogue on genetic engineering, which is being funded by Monsanto and facilitated by the London-based Environment Council, is in serious difficulty because prominent campaign groups have withdrawn from the process.
		"Monsanto's behaviour has been so appalling to-date with the introduction of GMOs, that without a Moratorium on GMO's, I doubt there is any sincerity in their offer", says Andrew Wood, the group's spokesperson.
		Unsurprisingly, Monsanto is still pushing for the process to continue: "In our view, there's no point in sitting either side of the fence, and the whole debate about GM crops being polarised", said press spokesperson, Alex Woolfall.

	Cargill to Process Monsanto's VISTIVE(TM) Low-Linolenic Soybeans

		In an early process for the conversion of acetylene to acetaldehyde, introduced in 1916 in Germany and used in China until recently, an organo-mercury compound was used as the catalyst.
		The cobalt-catalysed BASF process was introduced in the late 1950s, and the rhodium-based Monsanto process followed in the early seventies.
		The production of acetic acid by the Monsanto process is based on a rhodium catalyst and operates at a pressure of 30 to 60 bar and at temperatures of 150 to 200ºC. The process gives selectivity of over 99 per cent based on methanol.

	ADM teams up with Monsanto for low trans fat soy oil
		The food-processing and agricultural-services firm said it will contract growers for up to 40,000 acres of Vistive soybeans, or 8 percent of the total amount of the beans to be grown in 2006.
		Monsanto's Vistive low-linolenic soybeans, which claim to reduce or eliminate trans fatty acids in soybean oil, were launched in 2004, after ten years in development.
		According to the company, the beans, which contain less than 3 per cent linolenic acid, compared to 8 per cent for traditional soybeans, have enjoyed significant success on the back of an industry move to slash the trans fat content of foods.

		In a previous TechNewsNote (see June 21, 1999) we discussed an article that appeared in Nature Biotechnologyin which a side-by-side comparison was made of energy consumption for a hypothetical biological (fermentation) process and a conventional (petrochemical) process used to manufacture a biodegradable plastic.
		In October a team of researchers at Monsanto reported that they had done just that: they synthesized PHA in rape and cress plants by adding bacterial genes to the plants.
		As a follow-on to the Nature Biotechnologyenergy consumption study, perhaps it would be instructive to perform a life-cycle analysis that compares the energy consumed in the experimental Monsanto process and the energy consumed in a conventional petrochemical process that uses fossil feedstock.
