Monsanto are one of the major companies with patents on DNA, but I'm not
sure if they were the ones in the case you mentioned earlier.  They have
done some pretty ugly things in the past so it wouldn't surprise me.

And re. what Bernd said about patents and copyrights being completely
different animals:  legally this might be true, but either can be used
for lawsuits-as-business-model companies.
