If there is a patenting process someone might contest we can just set a timer for five years after acceptance and wait for the patent trolls to roll all over starving people. GM crops are great, but not as long as we can't guarantee this won't happen with a change to the system as a whole.

Why would a patent troll sue a rice farmer with no money in a developing country?
Is the patent troll going to sue in Somalian court, or does he expect the guy to show up for court in US?

I can't wait to see the proceedings.

Same reason Monsanto sues farmers in India. Protecting IP.
