123. Patent Compulsory License

"Let me say, there is an old saying in our country, which is called small profits but quick turnover. If it gets cheaper, isn't it just that it can sell more? Can it make more money?

But he had to set such a high price! Can't he consider our people?

What do you say every day that the research costs are high, and why do you lose a little bit? The Buddha said that saving a life will make you more successful than the one who can make a living.

They lost money and didn't know how many lives they could save, so why couldn't they make a little contribution!"

Shi Chong, the leader of the Five Leukemia Group, said, in his opinion, why can't you make small profits and sell more? If you get cheaper, can you make money by selling more?

When Guan Gu heard this, he took a notebook and replied: "I saw those people online that their patents have a term, but if they cannot make money during this period, there may be no way to make money later."

Lao Xie, the group leader of the eleven groups, shook his head when he heard this: "I make money every day. If I ask me, I should fight against landlords like I did a few decades ago, and I will fight against some unscrupulous capitalists.

They are all so rich, why can’t they use it to do something good? They sell medicine so expensive.”

When Guan Gu heard this, he replied helplessly: "You can't say that. Other people's money is also earned by themselves, and we are not qualified to ask others to make sure they have to make the money they earn..."

Before Guan Gu finished speaking, the group leader of another patient group said directly: "You are still too naive. Any rich man who is clean under his butt is all the money they earn from us ordinary people!

Just like this pharmaceutical factory, what you want to make for is so expensive when you save your life! Isn’t this just a bad money!”

"Yes, this pharmaceutical factory sells expensively, so why can A San make that kind of generic drug? It sells so cheaply? Why can't our country make it?

Don’t we say that our international status has improved now, why are we not even as good as our third brother? We can’t make it, so we have to take imported sky-high-priced medicines.”

When another patient group leader heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and watched on TV every day that our international status had improved.

Then why don’t we even make a generic drug for you? If we are really powerful, what do we dare to say about what we make us?

If you dare to say it, hit him!

"This has nothing to do with international status. This is international rules. We are WTO members. All countries must abide by the rules, just like the law, otherwise the world will be in chaos."

At this time, a man walked into the church and answered the question of the patient group leader.

The group leader of the patient became unhappy when he heard this: "Who are you?! Talking to other people's bad businessmen! Don't be afraid of being ignorant of your conscience!"

"My name is Zhang Yansong. I am one of the prosecutors in charge of this generic drug case. I am here to visit today."

Zhang Yansong bowed slightly to the people present and introduced himself.

"Official..."

Hearing this, the group leader turned his head directly and didn't say anything else.

In the hearts of ancient Chinese people, the idea of ​​officialism has always been very strong, and there is also a very old saying that the people do not fight with officials.

Even when adults find jobs for their children, they try their best to push their children into the system, and they think this is the most guaranteed one.

The old lady was still unhappy when she heard this: "That young man, tell me what international rules do you think are these?

Then why don’t people abide by this rule? Why can people make this medicine? It’s cheaper and affordable for ordinary people.”

"Grandma, I tell you that there are patent laws internationally, so of course we can also make this generic drug.

However, it must wait for the patent period of 20 years before it can be done. This is called respecting other people's intellectual property rights. Similarly, others respect our intellectual property rights as well.

Otherwise, if everyone doesn’t respect this thing, who will study new drugs in the future?”

Zhang Yansong could only explain to the old lady that there was something called patent.

"Then why can the Yin Kingdom be built? We can't."

The old lady still didn't understand when she heard this. If you want to say that there is this thing, why can't we build it?

Zhang Yansong could only continue to explain: "A thing issued by their country is called compulsory patent licensing, that is, in special circumstances, it can be granted by the government without the consent of the patent owner and licensed other enterprises to use a certain patent.

Generally, other countries only allow this policy on a particularly strong infectious disease, but cancer is not a strongly contagious disease, so there is no way to promulgate this policy.”

"Then the country has promulgated it, can't our country promulgate it? How many lives can this save? Can't we learn from the country?"

When the old lady heard this, she said with a sad face, "The country's policies are good, so we can learn them, why don't we learn them?"

Zhang Yansong shook his head when he heard this: "If this does not comply with international regulations, their national government will sue them every year.

And once such things are promulgated, it will basically destroy the pharmaceutical industry in its own country and there will never be innovation.

I can only point to other people's country's research and development medicines and follow others' butt to eat dust."

"Eat the ash and eat the ash, destroy it, it's ruined. Isn't it enough to save lives?" The group leader next to him said with some dissatisfaction when he heard this.

Zhang Yansong sighed: "Do you know what consequences will be caused by our country if it loses the power to develop new drugs?

Not only is the lifeline of the country being pinched into the hands of others, it is very likely that the patients who could have been cured in more than ten years will have to wait until more than twenty years later. So who should patients who have not eaten in the past ten years ask for advice?"

"Don't tell me this assumption. We can't see this long term. We can only see that we have no way to live now."

The group leader looked impatient when he heard this. How could I know if he would be myrrhish in decades? I knew I was myrrhish now.

"But the country must look at it so long, and consider it for the country, for all citizens, and for future generations. If this is not the case, it will only poison future generations."

"Then we are not the people anymore?! Then you can't think about us first!"

"We are already trying our best to solve this problem, and the above are also discussing various solutions. We absolutely have nothing to say about not helping you solve the problem.

This kind of thing is very complicated and it is impossible to solve you all at once."

Zhang Yansong looked at the patient who looked like I was unreasonable, and was also very helpless.
