United States Federal Circuit
Monsanto Company v. E.I. Du Pont de Nemours, 2013-1349
In an action for breach of a license agreement and infringement of plaintiff's patent for Roundup Ready soybean seeds, the district court's orders imposing sanctions on defendant by striking defendant's contract reformation defense and counterclaims, and awarding plaintiff attorney fees, are affirmed, where the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing narrowly-tailored sanctions on defendant for making factual misrepresentations concerning its subjective understanding of the License in order to advance its reformation counterclaims.
