REUTERS/Wolfgang Rattay/File Photo/File Photohas been ordered by Brazil's Supreme Court to return to Brazilian soybean farmers the royalties they were charged for a GMO soybean seed, the Mato Grosso farmer lobby Aprosoja-MT said in a statement on Friday.
The Feb. 13 ruling by Supreme Court Justice Nunes Marques relates to a GMO technology commercially known as Intacta RR2 Pro, created by Monsanto, which was later acquired by Germany's Bayer. Bayer said in a statement it will determine its next steps while noting it would comply with the ruling. The ruling is the latest chapter of a protracted battle opposing the crop science firm and Brazilian farmers, who have launched multiple legal challenges against the firm.
In 2017, Mato Grosso farmers sued Monsanto over that same genetically modified seed, seeking to cancel its patent protections by claiming it did not bring any technological innovation.

Domestic-Abuse Gun Ban in Peril After Recent Supreme Court RulingFederal law for nearly 30 years has barred gun possession for alleged domestic abusers, but the ban is coming under pressure from judges Why?!? No seriously, why should someone who beats his wife and threatens to kill her be allowed to purchase a gun Someone explain it to me. Of course it is.

Fearing conservative Supreme Court, N.J. takes step to protect interracial marriageNew Jersey was among only nine states and the District of Columbia that never enacted laws banning interracial marriage.
