Bayer CropScience wins patent case in China

Date:12-03-2009


Bayer successfully defended its patent for its proprietary mefenpyr-diethyl safener in Chinese court, reports China Daily.

Bayer CropScience in 2008 filed a lawsuit against two Chinese crop protection product producers, Jiangsu Tianrong Group and Yixing Huadong Agro-Chemical Co. The lawsuit was filed in Wuxi Intermediate Peoples Court in Jiangsu province.

Bayer CropScience said the companies sold the products illegally to local farmers, as well as to other customers in other Asian countries.
