The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1370

Dorothy frowned as she asked, "Does your boss have persecutory delusional disorder? It's already the twenty-first century now. The laws 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 formula 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

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

Liam replied, "Chemically synthesized drugs have strict and clear chemical molecular 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 mesylate. It is produced by Novartis, which is a pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland 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 other company 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 formula, 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 Banlangan Granules, right? The main ingredients are just Banlangan and sucrose. How can you possibly apply for a patent for this formula? As long as the formula 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, pharmaceutical companies 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 pharmaceutical companies 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 pharmaceutical company 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 a complex formula that can be patented, the chance of your competitors cracking and finding a loophole in the patent law 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 similar 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 patent laws 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 similar 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 similar effects to E-Hemostat. In fact, their ingredients and formula for their medications are basically the same. However, since E-Hemostat was the first medication t o come up on the market and since it had become 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 plagiarizing 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 had come 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?"
