DuPont’s Pioneer seed unit has sued Monsanto Co, claiming its archrival infringed on patents that help genetically modified corn seeds germinate. The suit, filed on Tuesday, is the latest volley in a bitter fight between the duo for dominance in the lucrative U.S. corn seed industry. In a suit filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa, DuPont asks that Monsanto reimburse it for any profits gained from the sale of products made with the patents, as well as damages. The suit did not ask for a specific dollar amount.
