123. Compulsory Patent License
"Let me say, isn't there an old saying in our country, called small profits but quick turnover, if he is cheaper, won't he be able to sell more?
But he has to set such a high price! Can't he think about us?
Every day, what do you say about the high cost of research, how about a little loss, everyone Buddha said, save people's lives, and further study is better than building a floating slaughter.
They lost money, and they don't know how many lives they can save, so why can't they dedicate a little!"
Shi Chong, the leader of the fifth group of leukemia, said, in his opinion, why can't you make small profits but sell more, if you are cheaper, can't you make money if you sell more?
Hearing this, Guan Gu took a small notebook, and then replied: "I saw those people on the Internet saying that their patents have a term of time, that is, if they can't return the original within this time, there may be no way to make money later." β
Lao Xie, the leader of the eleventh group, shook his head when he heard this: "Every day is to make money, if you want me to say, you should beat the landlords and hit some unscrupulous capitalists just like decades ago."
They are all so rich, why can't they use it to do something good, and sell the medicine so expensive. β
When Guan Gu heard this, he replied helplessly: "You can't say that, other people's money is also earned by others, and we are not qualified to ask others to make their own money......"
Before Guan Gu finished speaking, the group leader of another patient group said directly: "You are still too naΓ―ve, which rich person is clean under his buttocks, and they earn all the black money of our people!"
It's like this pharmaceutical factory, you want to make a life-saving thing, and you sell it so expensive! Isn't this black money!"
"That's right, this pharmaceutical factory sells expensive, so why can Ah San make that kind of generic drug, and sell it so cheaply, why can't our country make it.
Don't they all say that now that our international status has improved, why is it not as good as the third brother of others, we can't make it if people can make it, so we have to take imported sky-high drugs. β
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 amazing, we make ours, what do people dare to say?
If you dare to say it, hit him!
"This has nothing to do with international status, this is an international rule, we are a member of TO, and all countries must follow the rules, just like the law, otherwise the world will be chaotic. β
At this time, a man walked into the church and answered the question of the patient group.
When the patient group leader heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "Which one are you?! Speak for those black-hearted businessmen! Don't be afraid of losing your conscience!"
"My name is Zhang Yansong, and I am one of the prosecutors in charge of this generic drug case, and I am here to visit today. β
Zhang Yansong bowed slightly to the few people present and introduced himself.
"Official, ......"
Hearing this, the group leader turned his head directly and didn't say anything more.
In the hearts of the ancient Chinese people, the idea of the official standard has always been very important, and there is a very old saying that the people do not fight with the officials.
Even when adults find jobs for their children, they desperately push their children into the system, and they think that this is the most secure.
The old woman was still not happy when she heard this: "Tell me, young man, what kind of international rules do you say this is?"
Why don't you follow this rule, why can people make this medicine, it's cheap, and the people can afford it. β
"Grandma, let me tell you, there is a patent law in the world, and of course we can make this generic drug.
However, it is necessary to wait for the expiration of the 20-year patent period, which is called respecting the intellectual property rights of others. In the same way that we make medicines, others respect our intellectual property rights just as well.
Otherwise, everyone will not respect this thing, and who will study new drugs in the future. β
Zhang Yansong could only explain to his grandmother that there is a thing called a patent.
"Then why can people build India, but we can't. β
The old grandmother still didn't understand when she heard this, you have to say that there is this thing, why can people build it, but we can't make it.
Zhang Yansong could only continue to explain: "A thing promulgated by their country is called a compulsory patent license, that is, under special circumstances, the government can grant and license other enterprises to use a patent without the consent of the patentee.
Generally, this kind of policy is only allowed in other countries on the basis of particularly strong infectious diseases, but cancer is not a highly contagious disease, so there is no way to enact such a policy. β
"If the country promulgates it, can't our country promulgate it? How many lives can this save, can't we learn from the country?"
When the grandmother heard this, she cried and said, "The policies of other countries are good, we can also learn from them, why don't we learn them."
Zhang Yansong shook his head when he heard this: "If this does not comply with international regulations, the government of their country will have to fight a lawsuit with others every year."
And once this kind of thing is enacted, it is basically ruining the pharmaceutical industry in your own country, and there can never be innovation.
will always be able to point to the research and development drugs of other countries, and follow the ashes behind other people's butts. β
"If you eat ashes, you will eat ashes, and if you destroy them, you will destroy them, and you can save people's lives. When the group leader next to him heard this, he said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhang Yansong sighed: "Then do you know what the consequences will be once our country loses the power to develop new drugs."
It's not just that the lifeblood of the country is pinched in people's hands, so it is very likely that the patients who could have been cured in more than ten years will have to wait until more than 20 years later, and who should the patients who have not eaten in the past ten years go to reason?"
"Don't tell me this assumption, we can't see this long-term, we can only see that we don't have a way to live now. β
When the group leader heard this, he looked impatient, how do I know if people will be unrrhed after decades, I know that I am out of medicine now.
"But the country must look at the long term, for the country, for all the people, for future generations, if not, it will only poison future generations. β
"Then we won't be counted as the people?! Then you can't think about us first!"
"We're already trying our best to solve this problem, and we're talking about ways to deal with it, and there's absolutely nothing that won't help you solve the problem.
This kind of thing is very complicated, and it is impossible to solve it all at once. β
Zhang Yansong looked at a patient who was unreasonable to me, and he was also very helpless.
