Intellectual Property Pt. II

Description

The second part of our discussion on intellectual property reviews a historically relevant case impacting the multinational seed corporation Monsanto. Despite this case occurring in Canada, the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights is a field that crosses national boundaries.

Please review this video and comment on the following:

1) Which function of the law do you feel was most fitting to Percy Schmeiser deciding to fight Monsanto in court?

2) What types of things do you think Percy Schmeiser considered when he and his wife decided to fight Monsanto through litigation?

3) Do you agree with Monsanto enforcing their intellectual property rights against Percy Schmeiser? Is there any reason why they should not have enforced their IP rights? What are some implications if Monsanto did not enforce their intellectual property rights?
