OTTAWA In April 1999 Larry Proctor, a United States citizen and owner of a seed company, won a patent at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), claiming a Mexican yellow bean. The patent conferred Proctor exclusive rights over a bean variety he called Enola.

This beetle, unlike this chip bag here, this beetle uses one material, chitin.

The bean for which Proctor was granted a patent is a farmers variety, originally from Mexico and in the public domain for centuries. The bean is consumed throughout Mexico and by Mexicans and Mexican Americans in the US who know it by the names Mayocoba, Canario, or Peruano.

It actually is a Japanese beetle.

There was peanut loaf, liver loaf, bean loaf.

This beetle can detect a forest fire at 80 kilometers away.

At the end of 2000, CIAT, supported by the FAO, requested that the USPTO re examine the patent. Geneticists then performed genetic fingerprinting on the yellow beans, and concluded that Proctor s Enola bean was identical to the Mexican beans covered by the Trust Agreement.

As soon as Proctor was awarded the patent, he sued two importers of the yellow beans, demanding that they pay royalties. Although the importers knew that Proctor s invention was ludicrous (because they had been importing the bean from Mexico for years), they had no choice but to accept the patent s legality, causing 22,000 Mexican farmers and their families to lose 90 of their export incomes in just the first year.

Now, coumarin is a very common thing, a material, in fragrance which is derived from a bean that comes from South America.

And then at the back of the greenhouse, it condenses a lot of that humidity as freshwater in a process that is effectively identical to the beetle.
