Inari Agriculture asserts that the reliance on trade secret information during the development of a patented maize variety plays a critical role in determining the invention's obviousness.
The dispute highlights essential considerations around how trade secrets can influence the patentability of agricultural innovations, particularly in the context of plant breeding.
In seeking Director Review, Inari aims to emphasize that the incorporation of trade secrets should be given due consideration by the PTAB when evaluating patent claims.
This ongoing case between Inari and Pioneer underscores a significant legal intersection between patent law and the proprietary practices typical in agricultural research and development.
