"Patented seeds" is an oxymoron. Applying imaginary human concepts like that to nature is absurd, full stop.

  Which orifice did you pull this axiom out of? Living creatures are compositions of matter, full stop. Patent law applies to them just as it does to any other compositions of matter. There's nothing ethically problematic about this either. Perhaps (and I am guessing) your problem is that patenting living things is slapping you in the face with the proposition that living things, including yourself, are just arrangements of atoms, and the feeling of dismay at that has transmuted itself into resentful attack on the messenger.

    That's an odd supposition. All living things are of course just arrangements of atoms. Stating "There's nothing ethically problematic about this either" doesn't fix the inherent unethical ramifications of trying to force the imaginary concept of "ownership" onto natural processes. I'm sorry that this is not obvious to you, but I hope that some day you can sit down and reflect why you don't understand that.
