Abstract:

Excerpt:

PepsiCo has withdrawn its lawsuits against Indian potato farmers who were accused of infringing the company's intellectual property.

The firm had sued the nine farmers over their cultivation of a particular variety of potato, which PepsiCo uses exclusively for its Lay's potato chips, but last week agreed to stop pursuing the suits.
