But we have people all too willing to serve foreign interests, specially after meetings with representatives of their government. That's enough
To establish an international cartel enforced by international law........ No. If that was the case why wouldn't corporations do this for everything they produce? This is just silly conspiratorial thinking.
It involves applied science. In many countries, scientific investigations are being dismantled as we speak. So they would depend on foreign patents to be able to reproduce the process.
So does literally all manufacturing...... I don't think you understand how IP law works, and how hard it is to defend your IP even in the US, let alone on the international stage.
Unless you need it to survive. Many countries pay huge patent costs for medication their populations need.
But we don't require meat at all to survive....How exactly are you going to curb demand for regular meat if lab meat is priced at extortion level pricing.
Many countries pay huge patent costs for medication their populations need.
Yes, because when you patent a drug, you are patenting a product, not the process that you utilized to make the product. Other people can utilize the same process, but not if they are making the same exact product. Pharmacology is just specific enough that changing a product significantly enough to avoid a patent violation will also make the drug ineffectual.
Pharmacology is also unique in the fact that it has to pass stringent and expensive clinical testing. So there is no innate benefit in creating a competing drug, as it would be just as difficult and expensive to recreate, and you would be competing with an already established brand.
Pretty much everything you claimed is only somewhat pertinent to the pharmaceutical industry, and only because of the extreme cost of entry due to the necessary regulation.
