Meatless burger maker Impossible Foods has sued competitor Motif Foodworks, accusing the startup of copying its technology for imitating the taste of real meat.The lawsuit filed in federal court alleges that Motif, a spinoff of biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks, infringes an Impossible Foods patent by using a protein molecule called heme in its plant-based beef.Impossible's lawsuit said heme is a 'central component of meat's appeal,' and Impossible incorporates the protein in its plant-based burger to replicate meat's taste, smell, and 'overall sensory experience.'
