As a side note, this does indeed happen. By the way it's even worse,
they will prosecute a farmer even if he harvests seeds from his own
plants (not grown from the companie's seeds) with the claim that, since
98% of the croplands are grown from it's (Monsanto's) seeds, most
certainly even his plants have been breeded with the nearby Monsanto
plants. Guess who wins the trials. 

For more on this, watch the excellent documentary "Food"
