Chapter 124 123. Patent Compulsory Licensing
"Let me say, isn't there an old saying in our country, which is called small profits but quick turnover. If it becomes cheaper, doesn't it mean that you can sell more? Can't you earn more?
But he had to set such a high price!Can't he consider us people?
What is said every day is that the cost of research is high, and it is a little bit of a loss. The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a stupa.

They are losing money and don't know how many lives they can save, why can't they contribute a little bit! "

Shi Chong, the leader of the five groups of leukemia, said, in his opinion, why can't you sell more with small profits? If you sell more at a lower price, you can make money?
Hearing this, Guan Gu took a small notebook to write down, and then replied: "I saw those people on the Internet saying that their patents have a time limit, that is, if they can't pay back the money within this period, there may be no patents in the future." way to make more money.”

Lao Xie, the group leader of the eleventh group, shook his head when he heard this: "Every day is to make money, if you want me to say, it should be the same as it was decades ago, beating landlords and unscrupulous capitalists.

They are all so rich, why can't they use it to do something good, and sell the medicine so expensive. "

Hearing this, Guan Gu replied helplessly: "You can't say that either, people's money is also earned by themselves, and we have no right to demand that people must take the money they earned..."

Before Guan Gu could finish speaking, the group leader of another patient group directly said: "You are still too naive, which rich people have a clean ass, and what they earn is the black-hearted money of our common people!
Just like this pharmaceutical factory, you are trying to make life-saving products, but they are selling so expensive!Isn't this black-hearted money! "

"That's right, this pharmaceutical factory sells expensive, so why can Ah San make that kind of generic medicine 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 are we even inferior to the third brother? If they can make it, we can't make it, and we have to eat expensive imported medicines. "

Another patient group leader couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, and watched on TV every day saying that our international status has improved.

Then why don't we even make a generic drug for you? If we are really good, we make ours, what would people dare to say?
Hit him if you dare!
"This has nothing to do with international status. It is an international rule. We are a member of the WTO. 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 patient group leader was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Which one are you?! Help those unscrupulous businessmen! Don't be afraid to lose 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 several people present, and introduced himself.

"Officer..."

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

In the hearts of the ancient Chinese people, the idea of ​​official standard has always been very important, and there is an old saying that the people do not fight with the officials.

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

The old lady was still unhappy when she heard this: "Young man, tell me what international rules this is.

What kind of Indian country is that, why don't they follow this rule, why can they make this kind of medicine, it's cheap, and ordinary people can afford it. "

"Grandma, let me tell you, there is a patent law in the world, and of course we can make this kind of generic drug.

But you have to wait until the 20-year patent period has passed. This is called respecting other people's intellectual property rights.The same drugs we create, others respect our intellectual property rights.

Otherwise, everyone will not respect this thing, and who will study new drugs in the future. "

Zhang Yansong could only explain to the grandmother that there is something called a patent.

"Then why can India make it, but we can't."

The old lady still didn't understand when she heard this. If you want to say that there is such a thing, why can't others make it.

Zhang Yansong could only continue to explain: "The thing promulgated by their country is called patent compulsory licensing, that is, under special circumstances, the government can grant and license other companies to use a certain patent without the consent of the patentee.

Generally, this kind of policy is only allowed in other countries for particularly strong infectious diseases, but cancer is not a highly contagious disease, so there is no way to promulgate this kind of policy. "

"The other country promulgated it, can't our country promulgate it? How many lives can be saved, can't we learn from other countries?"

The old grandma said with a sad face when she heard this, the country's policy is good, we can also learn it, why not learn it.

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

And once this kind of thing is promulgated, it will basically destroy the pharmaceutical industry of one's own country, and there will never be innovation.

You can only point to other countries' research and development drugs forever, and follow them to eat ashes. "

"If you eat ashes, you will eat ashes, if you destroy it, you will destroy it, as long as it can save lives." The group leader next to him said with some dissatisfaction when he heard this.

Zhang Yansong sighed: "Then do you know what will happen if our country loses the power to develop new drugs.

Not only is the lifeline of the country being pinched by others, it is very likely that the patients who could be cured in more than ten years will have to wait for more than 20 years, so who should the patients who have not needed to eat in these ten years go to justify? "

"Don't tell me this kind of assumption, we can't see such a long-term view, we can only see that we have no way out now."

The group leader looked impatient when he heard this. How do I know if people will be out of medicine in a few decades? I know I am out of medicine now.

"But the country must take such a long-term view, and consider for the country, all citizens, and future generations. If not, it will only poison future generations."

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

"We are already trying our best to solve this matter, and the above are also discussing various coping methods, absolutely nothing to say that we will not help you solve the problem.

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

Zhang Yansong was also very helpless when he looked at a patient who was unreasonable to me.
