Indianapolis-based Dow AgroSciences LLC said Monday that it has been awarded $5.3 million in an unsuccessful patent-infringement
case brought by Bayer Bioscience N.V.
Originally filed in 1995 by Plant Genetic Systems—a subsidiary of Belgium-based Bayer Bioscience—the lawsuit
claimed that insect-resistant corn products from two affiliates of Dow AgroSciences violated two PGS patents.
The $5.3 million award will reimburse Dow for attorneys’ fees and other costs to defend against the litigation, the
company said in a Monday statement.
The case was filed in a federal court in North Carolina.
Bayer Bioscience is an affiliate of South African-based Bayer CropScience SA, which, coincidentally, lost a federal suit against Dow AgroSciences on Thursday.
That suit, filed in December 2010 by Bayer CropScience, charged that Dow AgroSciences’ herbicide-tolerance technology
infringed on one of its patents.

So, am I now eating at Patachou or a Shake Shack?

Does the IBJ have any fact to backup their assertion that Steak n Shake is changing their branding? Or are trying to compete with the Star on how many stories they can get incorrect??

The NCAA has the authority to sanction an entire school if a single player is caught receiving unauthorized gifts. In the case of Penn State an assistant coach was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of numerous felonies on campus, and members of the administration have been charged with covering it up. To suggest that the NCAA had no reason to get involved is laughable.

This image is of a trade show booth, not a retail store. I'm sure no one in their branding brain trust would really make their retail stores look like a second-label jeans brand from JCPenney. I would bet it's done at way so attendees know the ownership of the updated concept. (I have to say, tho, glad they appear to be losing affinity to the 50's drive-in idiom they were toying with post-Young & Laramore...)

I absolutely love the new sign. I've hated Steak N Shake for years now, but this new sign will make me eat there frequently!
