Indian court turns down PepsiCo's appeal against revocation of potato patent
An Indian court rejected PepsiCo Inc's appeal against an order that revoked a patent for a potato variety grown exclusively for the New York-based company's popular Lay's potato chips.
India, where 25% more means only 25% of the bag has chips
Seems like a really shady thing to do. I expected much more from Pepsi
Why though? It's just another for profit company.
Honestly puts me in a difficult position because I like their chips but now in a way I’m contributing to their farmer harassment
People's brand loyalty is just ridiculous. Every one of these multi-national corporations are profit driven and don't give a flying fuck about; you, the environment or their workers, unless it impacts their bottom line.
India has been doing some shady stuff lately. However in this instance, I fully agree with Indias decision.
