Brazilian farmers have accused Bayer of being in violation of a court order to deposit all royalties for its Intacta RR2 Pro soy seed technology in an escrow, by only depositing 4% of what growers paid in H2 2018. In a legal filing from 2017-2018, Bayer notified the court overseeing the patent dispute between Bayer and Brazilian farmers that it had deposited BRL11.22m ($3m) into the escrow account for the period in question. However, growers estimated in mid-2018 that the patent would generate BRL800m during the 30 January season. Farmers are looking to cancel Bayer's patent rights with the lawsuit.
