We bring good things to life

was not an accidental pun. GE started patenting life forms (except for Full term humans as ruled by the court) right before they started using that brand recognition phrase.

I bet your own google sleuthing would reveal not only the court decisions in favor of GE patents on life but also the early E coli experiments. Since many of the experiments did lead to public harm there may have been some creative deletions in the last 30 years.
PCB was a lesson hard learned by GE.
