Chapter 1370


    Dorothy frowned as she asked, "Does your boss have persecutory delusional disorder? It''s already


    the twenty-first century now. Thews on patents are all very strict. As long as your medication has


    already been patented, there''s no need for you to worry that other people will get their hands on


    your form and misuse it then."


    Liam shook his head and said, "Miss Chan, there is something that you don''t know about. In the


    current pharmaceutical industry, only chemically synthesized drugs can truly be protected by


    patents. Patents can only be implemented for chemically synthesized drugs.” 6


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Dorothy asked, "Chemically synthesized drugs? What d o you mean by that?"


    Liam replied, "Chemically synthesized drugs have strict and clear chemical molecr equations and


    their chemical structures are also very stable. For instance, the specific drug for treating leukemia is


    Glenin and based on its chemical structure, it is actually imatinib meste. It is produced by


    Novartis, which is a pharmaceuticalpany based in Switzend and it is one of the world''s best-


    selling medicines for treating tumors and cancers. As long as Novartis applies for a patent for this


    chemical equation, then any otherpany which produces any medicine with the same chemical


    composition


    and structure would be regarded as infringing the patent." 7


    After pausing for a moment, Liam continued speaking, "However, Oskian medicines aren''t


    chemically synthesized medication. They contain a lot of different proprietary Oskian medicinal


    herbs and materials. They are simply matched in specific proportions to achieve the perfect


    medicinal cure and effect. Albeit being a very effective form, it is also very difficult to apply for a


    patent. It would be very difficult for this kind of medicine to be effectively protected by a patent, and


    it would be even more difficult to sue others for infringement of the patent.” s


    "For instance, I believe that everyone knows about Bangan Granules, right? The main


    ingredients are just Bangan and sucrose. How can you possibly apply for a patent for this


    form? As long as the form for this medicine is leaked, then an ordinary person would also be


    able to make this medication on their own at home as long as they have the correct prescription for


    the medication. So, pharmaceuticalpanies cannot possibly bring these people to court, right?"


    6


    Dorothy replied, "Even if you cannot sue the ordinary people for infringement, you could at least sue


    the other pharmaceuticalpanies for infringement then, right?"


    Liam shook his head and said, "Miss Chan, you’re underthinking it. First of all, it''s really difficult to


    apply for a patent for this kind of herbs that exist naturally in nature. For instance, almost everyone


    in Asia uses rice as a staple food. If one day, research shows that rice could be used to treat certain


    diseases and a pharmaceuticalpany tries to apply for a patent to use rice, it would be


    impossible for the International Patent Organization to approve the patent." 6


    "Furthermore, even if it is aplex form that can be patented, the chance of yourpetitors


    cracking and finding a loophole in the patentw is also very high. Take the medicine to eliminate


    heatiness, for instance-as long as the other party makes some adjustment to the original


    prescription, such as the dosage ratio, or substituting some of the individual herbs or materials with


    other simr medicinal material, then they would be able to perfectly avoid infringing the patent


    without significantly affecting the efficacy of the medication." 5


    "So, in the final analysis, the patentws to protect Oskian medication are still very weak. If we want


    to avoid any infringement on the greatest extent, then the best way for us to do so is to win over the


    crowd first and let the consumers recognize our brand and our medicine. This way, even if the


    competitors try to imitate our product and produce a simr drug, we would have already seized the


    opportunity to establish our brand, and we would already have our fixed and loyal consumers." s


    "It is just like E-Hemostat. There are actually many different medications in the market with simr


    effects to E-Hemostat. In fact, their ingredients and form for their medications are basically the


    same. However, since E-Hemostat was the first medication t oe up on the market and since it


    had be well -known earlier, they''ve already built up a strong base and foundation. So, the


    sales of E-Hemostat would not be affected by any imitation drugs at all." s


    Dorothy curled her lips and said, “You’ve already said s o much, but I just want to ask you one


    question now. S o, is your prescription for the stomach powder also obtained from the ancient


    Oskian prescriptions, then? Does this mean that you are also giarizing the fruits of our ancestors’


    hard work?" 1


    Liam shook his head and said, "I don''t really know about this.”


    "You don’t know?" Dorothy was even more puzzled and she asked, "You''re the one producing this


    medication and you don''t know where this prescription has originated from yourself?" 6


    Liam replied seriously, "Our boss was the one who hade up with this prescription."


    "Your boss?" Dorothy asked in surprise, "Is your boss a doctor?"


    Liam was filled with admiration and respect as he said, "Our boss is the True Dragon in this world.


    He could be considered the current Terrence Hamms, who is a famous doctor in the ancient times!”


    "Pfft!" Dorothy replied disdainfully, "Stop bragging in front of me. What True Dragon and the current


    Terrence Hamms? Is there really someone who actually dares to think that he is worthy of these


    titles now?"
