"It is reported that the Broad Institute, a well-known biological research institution, has just filed an appeal against the Chinese pharmaceutical giant Sanqing Group, accusing it of related technology infringement and requiring the other party to stop infringement and pay up to US$2 billion in patent royalties and compensation."
"The Broad Institute recently won a patent battle and obtained the ownership of the CRISPR eukaryotic cell application patent. This is also the basis for their ability to initiate litigation."
"Previously, Sanqing Group took advantage of the patent war between the two parties and used this technology to develop and market thalassemia gene drugs without obtaining patent authorization, and achieved great commercial success. There is no doubt that this serious patent infringement is Trampling on the dignity of the law must be prohibited and punished accordingly."
"However, this dispute will not end easily. Sanqing Group is obviously unwilling to surrender. The person in charge of the company said that it will actively respond to the lawsuit to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests."
"Next, let's look at interviews with frontline reporters..."
The beautiful host appeared on the screen and told a shocking piece of news, which instantly caused a sensation across the Internet.
Netizens in Eagle Country were stunned when they saw this news. They forgot to swallow the burgers in their mouths.
"Oh my god, wasn't I dazzled? Could it be that I also posted fake news?"
"Didn't we reach an out-of-court settlement a few weeks ago? We had negotiated an absurdly high patent licensing fee, but why did we suddenly fall out?"
"It feels very strange. Sanqing is a hen that lays golden eggs. Why should we kill the chicken to get the eggs and keep them to collect royalties?"
"Brothers, have you noticed that in addition to high compensation, they also asked Sanqing to stop infringement. The original words were 'Prohibit Sanqing from using this technology to conduct any commercial activities.' This means that Sanqing is prohibited from selling in Eagle Country. Are you running out of genetic drugs?"
"This makes me even more confused. Not only do we kill chickens, but we also ban chicken farms from raising chickens?"
"Fake, who did we thalassemia patients offend? Why don't you let us buy medicine?"
"Oh my god, my condition is getting worse and worse. Only this medicine can save my life. I finally got in line. Am I going to die before I start treatment?"
When all the thalassemia patients in the network learned about this, they burst into mourning. Every one of them was frightened and frightened, fearing that Sanqing would withdraw from the Yingguo market and they would not be able to use the medicine.
At the same time, Yang Haoran received a notice from the FDA, prohibiting Sanqing from selling any thalassemia gene drugs and submitting all patient information in order to calculate infringement profits.
He was furious, but he could only suppress it and follow the instructions one by one.
Some patients who were waiting in line for clinical treatment in Yingguo were gradually informed that their reservations had been cancelled, and Sanqing would process refunds as soon as possible.
Other patients who had already participated in the treatment were told that treatment would be temporarily suspended indefinitely pending further notification.
The patients were stunned and then furious.
This is life-saving medicine, so why not let them continue treatment?
A patient with a pale face and edema all over looked at the doctor with disbelief on his face: "What did you say? There is no more medicine? There will be no more in the future? Are you kidding me?"
He had just had a check-up and had waited for two months. It was finally his turn. He was about to receive the first injection in two days, but now he was not being treated?
What about his illness?
Continue to go to the hospital for blood transfusion? Then take those iron removers that have extremely side effects and are still very ineffective?
The doctor looked at him seriously: "I'm not kidding. It was the FDA that terminated our treatment. In fact, Sanqing's genetic medicine has arrived, but they can't sell it anymore. They can only seal it up and destroy it in the warehouse. If they give it again, If you use drugs, it's illegal, and we don't want to go to jail."
"This drug is completely out of business. The patent has been revoked and it should be withdrawn from the market soon."
The patient was angry: "Why? My medicine is right in front of me, but I'm not allowed to use it. Is the FDA so disregarding people's lives?"
The doctor added: "By the way, this matter is currently making a big fuss on the Internet. Many netizens are scolding the FDA and the Broad Institute."
"I heard that many patients have already voted and petitioned online. Maybe you can participate. If there are more people, the FDA may change its mind."
"However, I don't have much hope for this." The doctor shrugged: "Everyone knows the bureaucracy of the FDA."
The patient squinted his eyes: "If the FDA does not resolve this matter, we patients must organize themselves to make them look good."
Thalassemia patients acted quickly and immediately united and began to gather downstairs at the FDA headquarters.
But before they could make any noise this time, the Broad Institute held an emergency press conference.
Also present at the meeting were Pfizer executives, and Dosten was also present, sitting next to Zheng Feng.
The two parties officially announced the cooperation agreement and revealed a major news.
"In view of the recent outcry from thalassemia patients, we also have good news to tell everyone," Zheng Feng looked around and saw the media from all walks of life holding their breaths, waiting for him to speak, and couldn't help but smile.
"In fact, we and Pfizer are also jointly developing a thalassemia gene drug. We have made breakthrough progress and are undergoing clinical trials. We have applied for a green fast track and we believe it will be on the market soon."
"So I hope that the majority of patients can wait patiently. We have joined forces this time and have strong strength. We will not let everyone down."
"Of course, if some patients are really anxious, they can also apply for clinical trials. We very much welcome this and are willing to open the door to convenience."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.
When the media heard the news, they all went crazy, extremely excited, and raised their hands crazily to ask questions.
"Hello, is there any difference between Pfizer's genetic drug and Sanqing's?"
"So is this the ultimate reason why you filed an injunction against Sanqing? To pave the way for your own genetic medicine?"
"Will this drug be launched in China? If it competes with Sanqing's drug in China, do you have any chance of winning?"
Facing the tough questions from the media, Zheng Feng always kept a smile and responded appropriately one by one.
Dorsten next to him also explained some technical details, and finally the media were able to deal with it.
The press conference was a success, and media outlets in Eagle Country rushed to report on it, speaking highly of Pfizer's new thalassemia gene drug.
The thalassemia patients in Eagle Country were also calmed down. They no longer gathered downstairs at the FDA. Instead, they went home and started applying for clinical trial treatment of Pfizer's genetic drugs.
Although they know in their hearts that if Sanqing is eliminated and Pfizer's drugs are replaced, the price will probably increase significantly, but at the moment of their lives, they have no choice but to accept it silently.
When the news spread back to China, Chinese netizens instantly exploded.
"I have never seen such a despicable person!"
"Nah, this is more sinister and sinister than I thought!"
"Two billion US dollars, plus the entire Eagle Country market, this wave perfectly illustrates what the art of robbery is."
"Are you jealous of Sanqing's achievements? Are you just going to ban the patent and then kick it out to dominate the market?"
"It turns out that it's Daying who stole the country's orthodoxy."
"Poor Sanqing, you are really making wedding clothes for others."
"u1s1, it seems that Sanqing has indeed infringed the patent this time, and it is not surprising that it is banned. Besides, it is normal and reasonable for drug research and development to crash. We still have to look at this issue objectively and not resort to conspiracy theories. .”
"I reported it upstairs. There are 500,000 people walking. I'm ready to go see the car."
“Get off the internet!”
Netizens were filled with indignation and anger, and they all expressed their grievances for Sanqing.
They continued to pour into Wei Kang's homepage to express their support and leave countless words of comfort and encouragement.
"What the hell!"
"Don't be afraid when you encounter bad people, pick up a stick and go up and kill these idiots!"
"I have decided to boycott imported medicines in the future, and I will only take Sanqing medicines."
"Come on! Chinese thalassemia patients will always be with Sanqing Station."
"Mr. Wei, don't cry, call for Sanqing."
This scene is heartwarming.
