my understanding is that in the wonderful new world of i.p, law, corporations were able to trademark and effectively own both the category of seed and the genetically modified variants simply because there was no existing claim for this kind of ownership before i.p. made them "necessary"...in terms of agriculture, that is one of the major problem created for many poorer countries by this i.p. juggernaut.

more generally, who on earth confuses capitalism and freedom?
