I hope the corporations try this one soon. At the moment there is a chance the world backlash will cause the laws on such things to take into account that describing something which already exists is not ownership of it or it's description.
I can even hope that there will come a push to describe existing DNA as public domain and thus all things buy from it must include include reference and payment to the owners. (perhaps even requiring permission and continued open source uses).
Just kidding myself aren't I
