    "to brown-bag"

    [Biol.][Canad.]
    Quellen
    ... cultivating Roundup REady canola also presents future revenue opportunities to "brown-bag" the product to other farmers unwilling to pay the license fee, thus depriving MOnsanto of the full enjoyment of their monopoly

    (Monsanto v. Schmeiser) - es geht um Patentrechte auf Gene und Zellen in diesem Canola/Raps.

    It may have something to do with:

    brown-bag v. trans. chiefly N. Amer., to carry (one's lunch) in a brown paper-bag; also, to carry (alcoholic drink) concealed in such a bag (to conform to certain U.S. State laws), esp. to a restaurant; also intr. with it.

    as in: to sneak something in, or past, an authority

    You often "brown-bag" food leftovers in a restaurant, so I guess the joke here is that the canola is also food (though not ready-to-eat), and the farmers hand their granola leftovers to other farmers in a brown bag.

    I think it might mean "let other farmers buy it from you and sell it [and/or grow it?], but without the brand label".

    ahhh, ok.
    Sorry, I had no idea to what the court alluded here.

    Thanks a lot for the explanation - helped a lot!

    Linus schlägt vor.
    In der deutschen Übersetzung spricht L. von "Stullen mitbringen".

    Und für so einen Schwachsinn, der nichts mit der Anfrage zu tun hat, ziehst Du diesen Faden aus der sieben Jahre alten Versenkung?
