In that case, it's a patented product that happens to reproduce itself as part of its normal operation.

In this case, it's just shitty business behavior.

(To be clear, no, living organisms should not be patentable. But it'd be fucking hilarious if patented genes went feral.)

On the plus side, some of those patents have already expired.
