I can extract side effects

The patent infringement lawsuit between Sanqing Group and the Broad Institute has attracted the attention of the global media.

Colleagues in the entire biological and medical industry are also closely watching the progress of this incident.

You should know that since the advent of CRISPR-Cas9 technology, Sanqing is the first pharmaceutical company to succeed in clinical trials, and the patent licensing fee paid has important reference value for other companies.

Because no drug based on this technology has been successfully marketed and has not been commercialized, the patent licensing fee that the industry needs to pay to these two teams is not too much, only a few million dollars.

However, if these companies make major breakthroughs in clinical trials, the subsequent patent licensing fees will inevitably rise, and they may even have to pay two patent licensing fees.

Therefore, after the two parties reached an out-of-court settlement, the news was quickly revealed.

Eagle Country's media also specially came to interview Zheng Feng and conducted a special report, which made him even more famous.

Naturally, these media didn't have any good things to say about Sanqing. After a lot of verbal criticism, Sanqing became a heinous patent thief, and he could only pay high patent licensing fees as an indulgence.

Looking at the high patent fee payment ratio, other biotechnology companies took a deep breath.

25%!

This is too outrageous!

Fortunately, it was Sanqing, the early bird, and not them.

Feeling lucky and scared, they all called the Broad Institute to inquire about the subsequent patent licensing fee.

The case of Sanqing undoubtedly sounded the alarm for them. If they want to pay such a high patent fee, they have to consider other plans.

The phone in Zheng Feng's office rang one after another. In order to appease these companies, he was very busy for a while.

It took a lot of effort to convince the other party that their move was just to scare chickens and monkeys, and other companies would not charge such high patent licensing fees.

The domestic media has also been paying attention to this matter and reported it immediately.

When the news spread to the Internet, it immediately caused an uproar across the Internet.

Netizens were all angry, and they were extremely excited, waving their keyboards and punching hard on the Internet.

"Hey, this damn gene tax."

"This is even more outrageous than the Qualcomm tax. Every time a mobile phone manufacturer sells a mobile phone, the tax paid to Qualcomm is only 5%. Sanqing actually has to pay 25%. Is there any law? Think about money Thinking crazy, why not grab it?"

"This is robbery, naked robbery in the name of patents!"

"It's not just once or twice that the patent robbers have done this, it's really back to their old ways."

"Who can tell me, will this have any impact on other pharmaceutical companies in my country? Do other companies have to pay such high patent fees? Then there will be companies willing to develop genetic drugs?"

"Hehe, you don't know about it upstairs. This has little impact on domestic gene editing related companies, because domestic companies do not have patent licenses. Do you know why? Because they have not obtained commercialization. any progress."

"And the payment ratio of patent fees like this can be negotiated individually. The Broad Institute can charge low fees for Western companies and high fees for Chinese companies."

"I'm dizzy, the co-author of the Broad Institute is catching a sheep in Sanqing and pulling the wool hard. Isn't it afraid of killing the sheep by doing this?"

"The Sanqing family has a big business, and other income is amazing. According to my estimate, the annual revenue from medicine is estimated to be tens of billions of dollars. They are not so envious, they finally seized the opportunity, and they can't wait to grab it all. "

"Bah, these patent trolls are destroyers of modern civilization."

"This is another manifestation of patent hegemony. Our gap in basic scientific research is still too large."

"Sanqing should simply withdraw from the Eagle Country market. We don't care about that little money. Our domestic support is enough."

"Aren't you stupid? You can earn money abroad to subsidize the country. Why refuse it? Sanqing can raise the price overseas. Although it pays a high patent fee, its own income can also increase. Maybe this is also Bode. The original intention of the Institute to make money through Sanqing.”

"Then let's see what Sanqing does. Thank God, domestic patents don't belong to this damn Broad Institute!"

"Don't worry everyone, the CRISPR technology patent lawsuit has been going on for ten years, and both sides have their brains out. Although the Broad Institute has temporarily won, the other company will continue to sue until it can't sue. So We might as well wait and see, and wait for the final news."

"That's right, in fact, this patent has been contested for ten years, and the patent protection period is only 20 years. If you continue to litigate for a few more years, the patent will become invalid, so Sanqing will not have to pay any more protection fees if you wait a few more years. .”

"No wonder this organization looks so ugly now. It turns out that the patent expired in a few years. It seems that we still have to have our own gene editing tools, so as not to be stuck and pay protection fees."

"Have you noticed that the inventor of the Broad Institute turned out to be a Chinese, and it turned out to be an infighting among us for a long time!"

"No, his boss is the Chief Scientific Advisor of Eagle Country and also the spokesperson of the Youda Consortium. It should not be underestimated. Zheng Feng can't be what he is today without the support of this Bole mentor."

"He can no longer be regarded as a native of Huaxia. Judging from his resume, he went to the Eagle Country with his mother since he was a child and grew up there. Now that he has achieved such achievements, he is already a representative of the Eagle Country Dream."

"No wonder, generally this kind of people are more ruthless when dealing with their own people. This is called the fanaticism of converts."

"Fuck, there are Youda consortium everywhere, they are everywhere."

Netizens changed their style of painting and began to strongly criticize the Broad Institute and Zheng Feng.

At the same time, Wei Kang received a call in the office.

The marketing approval of the thalassemia gene drug has been accelerated, it has passed the approval, and it can be officially launched in the country from tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang immediately lifted his spirits. This is indeed good news.

The approval of the thalassemia gene drug in Eagle Country is a green and fast track, so that the third phase of clinical trials can be completed and launched in just two months.

Such a small amount of time is definitely not enough for domestic new drug approval.

However, the third phase of clinical trials in China has just been completed, and once the experimental report is obtained, it will be approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

This undoubtedly reflects the strong support Sanqing has received.

You must know that Super Soybean also uses CRISPR technology. With the background of the Broad Institute, it is obvious that the other party will not just come for Sanqing.

This is likely to be a warning to achieve the purpose of killing one and knocking the mountain to shake the tiger.

Wei Kang believes that the four major overseas grain merchants must also be secretly exerting pressure behind their backs.

After the launch of Super Soybean, it is impossible for the two sides not to have some subtle collisions in this regard, but he does not know the details.

He can only do his own thing well, lead the Sanqing Group, beat the Broad Institute to its knees, and be defeated in a hurry.

As the saying goes, if you hit with one punch, you will avoid a hundred punches.

Only by hurting the opponent can we avoid these clown-like unnecessary bites.

Only in this way, when the opponent launches the next attack, he will carefully weigh it, first to see if his bones are hard enough.
