According to this article, Monsanto won the case, not because the plants were cross-pollinated, but (according to the defendant) some of Monsanto's seeds allegedly fell accidentally onto his land.

up...heard about the guy that got his field cross-pollinated with the neighbor's patented plants, and got sued for not paying the license fees?

Except that wasn't true*. You have fallen into the common error of repeating claims that the losing side of a court case made, as if they were true.
