    Well there’s this case where Monsanto sued a farm for replanting seeds they had a patent on.

    And there’s several other cases similar to that where Monsanto has sued farmers. For instance in “David vs Monsanto”, when a farmer found out some canola plants were roundup-resistant and propogated them on his farm. Monsanto sued him for not having them removed, especially since Monsanto had a program where if they were informed, they’d removed them for farmers.

    So while it’s not exactly as deceived above, it’s not far off.
