due to copyright or (even worse) patent laws
At least patents expire in a reasonable(-ish) amount of time.
I also don't see how you could copyright a GMO, as at least to my non-lawyer eyes, it's not a form of expression. But I've been wrong about what lawyers will come up with, and courts will indulge, many times before. Certainly there's been enough discussion here about what they've done with terms like "speech" and "commerce"; it's as bad as the situation with terms like "racism" and "oppression" and arguably even more creative, so I don't want to push that point too hard.

Neither of which is copyrighting it. Yes, of course they can patent them. That's not at all the same thing.
