The lawsuit is part of a larger multi-district litigation matter; the court determined that DeLong Co.’s claims specifically were barred by the statute of limitations.
The Kansas District Court issued its judgment in favor of the defendants, including Syngenta AG, Syngenta Crop Protection AG, Syngenta Corporation, Syngenta Crop Protection, Syngenta Biotechnology, and Syngenta Seeds, on February 3.
