1. De minimus possession. If a genetically engineered product in which a manufacturer has rights
is possessed by a farmer or found on the property owned or occupied by the farmer and the presence of
the product is either de minimus or not intended by the farmer, the farmer is not liable for breach of a
seed contract nor for any damages claimed by the manufacturer.
[PL 2007, c. 602, §5 (NEW).]
2. Venue. An infringement case brought against a grower who does not have a current technology
use agreement with a manufacturer must be brought in a venue where the farmer resides or where the
disputed crop was grown.
