No, he didn’t. He was taken to court by Monsanto for stealing their property.
Yes, criminals often incur such risks.
WTF??? 
No, he did not win.
From your own article:
The judge “upheld the validity of Monsanto’s patented gene”
The judge "dismissed Schmeiser’s challenge to the patent based on the claim Monsanto could not control how the gene was dispersed "
The judge ruled that it “is not true in the case of genetically modified seed… that a farmer owns the seeds or plants grown on his land if they blow in or are carried there by pollen”.
“The Federal Court of Appeal subsequently rejected Schmeiser’s appeal.”
“The Supreme Court… determined that Monsanto’s patent is valid.”
And that is the version told by Schmeiser himself. The unbiased version is even more definite that Schmeiser lost resoundingly on all points:
Schmeiser sued Monsanto for ten million dollars for “libel, trespass, and contamination of his fields with Roundup Ready Canola”. However, that suit went nowhere.
“a Supreme Court 5-4 ruling found in favor of Monsanto of their patent being valid and if there was infringement.”
“the Superme Court ruled …Schmeiser had recognized the cross-contamination, and knowingly went on to collect the crossbred seed, then replant and harvest it the next year”
In no possible sense did Schemiser won. Every single court in the country handed him an arse kicking., Every single court found that he deliberately stole Monsato’s property, and then set out to deliberately plant a crop of GM canola derived from this deliberately stolen property.
The most generous finding in Schmeiser’s favour was the initial verdict, which said the he either knew or should have known that what he was doing was intellectual property theft. IOW that court found that Schmeiser was either a fool or a thief. Every subsequent court rejected the fool possibility. They outright declared that Shmeiser deliberately stole Monsanto’s property.
And you consider this to be winning? :rolleyes:
And Schmeiser did fight, and was found guilty and liable in every single court in the country.
So as a matter of law, Shmeiser deliberately tired to steal Monsanto’s property and deliberately tired to cultivate GM crops. Not really relevant to the OP is it?
Nope, they never insisted on any such thing. The insisted that when someone deliberately and purposefully uses their patented technology to cultivate a patented GM crop, as Schmeiser diod, then that perosn is gulty of deliberately and purposefully breaching the patent on that technology.
Do you disagree with this assertion? Because every court in the country agrees with it and found that Schmeiser did exactly that.
What a load of ignorant horseshit.
3 juries and 4 appeals courts all found exactly the opposite. They all found that Shmeiser had deliberately and persistently attempted to cultivate Monsanto’s GM plants in order to establish a GM crop.
Schmieser did not spend 40 years developing his own seeds. He spent 3 years selecting for Monsato’s seeds. This is a fact upheld by every court in the land.
Schmeiser did not hate the pollution of Monsanto’s seeds. Schmeiser either illegally and directly stole some of Monsanto;'s seed, or spent considerable effort replicating Monsanto’s patented process for producing GM seeds. This is a fact upheld by every court in the land.
He did not win. He lost. In every single court in the land he lost. Every single court in the land found him guilty of willfully and deliberately replicating Monsanto’s patented technology
In absolutely no sense did Schmeiser win. The man was found by every single court to be a fraud, a liar, a thief and a cheat.
gonzomax,please stop posting such ignorant tripe in GD.
