Can Monsanto and other manufacturers of GMOs be sued on a nuisance or trespass theory when their seeds spill over into farmers’ fields who do not use them?

Quite the opposite. Monsanto sues the trespassed and contaminated farmer for growing patented Monsanto seeds without permission.

Monsanto wins.

Just the opposite. Monsanto sues you for infringing on their patented seed without permission. and wins in court.

I believe a Canadian farmer successfully sued Monsanto on that basis.
