 AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, is pleased with the recent decision by the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to uphold one of the company’s patents for Momentum® planters. The ruling denied Brazilian manufacturer Stara's petition for an Inter Partes Review (IPR), which reinforces the strength of AGCO’s patents throughout the world. 

AGCO’s Farmer-First focus drives our teams to create products that meet the needs of farmers around the world,” said Kelvin Bennett, AGCO Senior Vice President, Engineering. “This ruling validates the integrity of AGCO’s intellectual property rights so we can continue providing farmers with agriculture’s most innovative and effective solutions.”
