How does Monsanto avoid this?

They sell you seeds. You can grow things with those seeds, but you cant plant the grown plants' seeds.

    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.)
