#monopolies
Remnember that the most ardent proponent of #patent #monopolies for vaccines is their shareholders, the #famouscriminal #billgates https://www.thenation.com/article/economy/bill-gates-investments-covid/
#megatron is the outcome of #patent #monopolies and greed. The #patents or the patent pools incentivise delaying tactics in distribution of vaccines, which in turn beget more variants (also: MASSIVE profits! At OUR EXPENSE). When the new variants come they sell us MORE products... with NEWER patents on them.

Totally bullcrap framing. The real issue here is the #patents and if they take away the #patent #monopolies then it costs a little bit of money to vaccinate people. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/02/10/fraction-pentagon-budget-world-could-prevent-15-million-covid-deaths

The EPO's #greenwashing , designed to glorify #monopolies and distract from the EPO's crimes, keeps getting cited by #patent profiteers and fanatics https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/battery-innovation-enhances-ev-9372196/ see http://techrights.org/2021/04/27/epo-greenwashing-stunts/
A timely reminder that big pharmaceutical #monopolies not only write the #law but also pass the law to protect themselves using "the law"; they even make up new concepts and terms like "SPCs", quickly exacerbating #inequality by their own design https://www.mondaq.com/uk/patent/1156528/supplementary-protection-certificates-for-medicinal-products
They're going for #monopolies on plants; these villanelles #lawyers want you to think humans "invented" and "own" nature https://www.mondaq.com/uk/patent/1156532/introduction-to-supplementary-protection-certificates-for-plant-protection-products see http://techrights.org/2019/03/08/patents-on-life-in-europe/

"Out of every 1,000 issued patents, only about 14 include prior art submissions from third parties." https://patentlyo.com/patent/2022/02/uspto-third-submissions.html This means that many #fakepatents are being allowed with any real fact-checking or scrutiny; this system has gone defunct, made to benefit mass #litigation firms and #monopolies
