The British Crown claims to own the King James Bible.
The British Crown holds letters patent to control the printing and import of the Authorised Version, and the Book of Common Prayer, yes, in such jurisdictions as this is held to be legal - which is only the UK and possibly related territories.
"Claims to own" is a slight misrepresentation, given that this is, you know, actual law in a real country.
