Both systems entered the market at the same time – both Deere, as and Precision Planting, showed its system of fast seeding in 2014 . What more both systems provide increased accuracy seeding at higher driving speeds (up to 16 km/h).
Is this a coincidence? No I think so. Deere & Co. cooperated with Climate Corporation, that is the company then behind Precision Planting. The American conglomerate wanted to include the developer system in its portfolio, howeverThe Department of Justice of the United States did allow this (in 2016 year). The argument was that, that John Deere would then have a market monopoly on the seeding technology of high speed. In efect the Precision Planting company has been purchased by the AGCO company.
– The Federal Court confirmed the ruling of the District Court of US, that AGCO and Precision Planting did not infringe the intellectual property of Deere. Deere unsuccessfully argued both in the track, and after the process in July 2022 . in the District Court of the U.S.

of the judgment to the benefit of AGCO and Precision Planting – wrote in the comment to the judgmentonAGCO’spages.
