In Pictures: The fierce battle for intellectual property

K.C. (top), the first animal produced by cloning from a cell taken from a carcass, is pictured with her traditionally bred calf Sunshine, who was born Dec. 17, 2004, in this undated photograph released by animal cloning and genomics services company ViaGen in November 2009. ViaGen owns the intellectual property rights to the technology that in 1996 produced Dolly the sheep, the world's first animal cloned from an adult cell, at Scotland's Roslin Institute.
