After previously obtaining patent protection under Brazilian law for its first generation RoundUp Ready (RoundUp is the brand-name for glyphosate, a non-selective herbicide commonly used in row crops) soybeans, Monsanto has sought to correct the term of its patent rights in Brazil to conform to the 2014 patent term granted in the U.S. The company plans to immediately appeal a decision by a single judge of the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice relating to the request for term correction.
