Chapter 264 - One Bad News After Another

"According to reports, the Broad Institute, a well-known biological research institution, has just filed an appeal against Huaxia pharmaceutical giant Sanqing Group, accusing it of related technology infringement, demanding that the other party stop the infringement and pay up to 2 billion US dollars in patent royalties and compensation."

"The Broad Institute just recently won a patent war to claim ownership of the CRISPR patent for eukaryotic cell applications, which is why they are able to sue."

"Previously, Sanqing Group took advantage of the patent war between the two sides and used this technology to develop and market thalassemia gene medicine without obtaining patent authorization, and achieved great commercial success. There is no doubt that this serious patent infringement is the The trampling on the dignity of the law must be prohibited and punished as it should be.”

"However, this dispute case will not end easily. Sanqing Group is obviously unwilling to let it go without a fight. The person in charge of the company said that it will actively respond to the lawsuit to protect its legitimate rights and interests."

"Next, let's look at the interviews with frontline reporters..."

The glamorous host of CNN appeared on the screen and told a shocking news, which instantly caused a sensation across the Internet.

Netizens in Yingguo were stunned when they saw this news, they forgot to swallow the hamburger in their mouths.

"God, I'm not dazzled, did CNN also publish fake news?"

"Didn't you reach an out-of-court settlement a few weeks ago? After negotiating an outrageously high patent licensing fee, why did you suddenly turn around?"

"It feels very strange. Sanqing is a hen that lays golden eggs. Why kill the hen to get the eggs and keep them for patent fees?"

"Brothers, have you noticed? In addition to the high compensation, they also asked Sanqing to stop the infringement. The original words were 'prohibit Sanqing from using this technology for any commercial activities', so they want to prohibit Sanqing from selling in Yingguo. Poor gene medicine?"

"This makes me even more puzzled, not only killing chickens, but also banning chicken farms from raising chickens?"

"Fack, who did our thalassemia patients provoke? Why don't we let us buy medicine?"

"My God, my condition is getting worse and worse. Only this medicine can save my life. I finally got in the queue. Is it possible that I will die before I start the treatment?"

When the thalassemia patients on the whole network heard about this, they wailed for a moment, each of them was terrified and panicked, for fear that Sanqing would withdraw from the Yingguo market, and they would not get the medicine.

At the same time, Yang Haoran received a notice from the FDA to prohibit Sanqing from selling any thalassemia gene medicines, and at the same time submit all patient information in order to calculate the infringement benefits.

He was furious in his heart, but he could only suppress it forcefully, and followed suit one by one.

Some patients who were waiting in line for clinical treatment in Eagle Country were notified one after another that their reservations had been cancelled, and Sanqing would process refunds as soon as possible.

Other patients who have already participated in the treatment were told that the treatment was temporarily suspended indefinitely, pending further notice.

The patients were stunned and then flew into a rage.

This is a life-saving medicine, so why not let them continue the treatment?

A patient with a pale face and edema all over his body looked at the doctor with disbelief: "What did you say? There is no medicine? There will be no more in the future? What are you kidding?"

He just had a checkup and waited for two months, and it was finally his turn. He saw that the first injection would start in two days, and now he is not being treated?

What about his illness?

Continue to go to the hospital for blood transfusion? Then take those iron removers with great side effects and poor effect?

The doctor looked at him seriously: "I'm not joking, it's the FDA that terminated our treatment. In fact, Sanqing's gene medicine has arrived, but they can't sell it anymore, so they can only be sealed and destroyed in the warehouse. If you use drugs, it is illegal, and we don't want to go to jail."

"This drug is completely useless, the patents have been cancelled, and it should be withdrawn from the market soon."

The patient was angry: "Why? My medicine is right in front of me, but I am not allowed to use it. Is the FDA so disregarding the lives of the people?"

The doctor added: "By the way, this matter is currently making a lot of noise on the Internet. Many netizens are criticizing the FDA and the Broad Institute."

"I heard that many patients have already voted and petitioned on the Internet. Maybe you can participate. If there are too many people, the FDA may change its mind."

"However, I don't have much hope for that." The doctor shrugged. "The bureaucracy of the FDA is well known."

The patient squinted: "If the FDA doesn't resolve this matter, we patients must organize to make them look good."

The thalassemia patients acted quickly, and immediately united and began to gather downstairs in the FDA headquarters.

But this time before they made any noise, the Broad Institute urgently held a press conference.

Also present at the meeting were executives from Pfizer, including Dosten, who sat beside Zheng Feng.

The two parties officially announced the cooperation agreement and revealed a major news.

"Due to the loud calls from thalassemia patients recently, we also have good news to tell you," Zheng Feng looked around, seeing the media from all walks of life holding their breath, waiting for him to speak, and couldn't help smiling.

"In fact, we and Pfizer are also jointly developing a thalassemia gene drug, which has made breakthrough progress and is undergoing clinical trials. We have applied for the green fast track and 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, with strong strength, and we will definitely not disappoint everyone."

"Of course, if some patients are really anxious, they can also apply for clinical trials. We welcome this very much and are willing to open the door of convenience."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the audience.

When the media heard the news, they all went crazy, they were extremely excited, and frantically raised their hands to ask questions.

"Hello, what is the difference between Pfizer's gene drug and Sanqing's?"

"So this is the ultimate reason why you submitted the ban on Sanqing? To pave the way for your own genetic medicine?"

"Will this drug be launched in China? If you compete with Sanqing's drug in China, do you have a chance of winning?"

Facing the sharp questions from the media, Zheng Feng always kept smiling and responded appropriately one by one.

Dosten next to him also explained some technical details, and finally got the media over.

The press conference was very successful, and Eagle Country media rushed to report, and their words were full of praise for Pfizer's new thalassemia gene drug.

The thalassemia patients in Eagle Country were also appeased. Instead of gathering downstairs at the FDA, they went home individually and began to apply for the clinical trial treatment of Pfizer's gene drug.

Although they all knew in their hearts that Sanqing would be out of the game and the price of Pfizer's drugs would probably be greatly increased, but at the moment of their lives, they had no choice but to accept it silently.

When the news spread back to China, Huaxia netizens exploded in an instant.

"I have never seen such a despicable and shameless person!"

"Nimma, this is even more sinister than I imagined!"

"Two billion dollars, plus the entire Eagle Country market, this wave perfectly explains what is the art of robbery."

"Is it because you are jealous after seeing Sanqing's achievements, directly ban the patent, and then kick it out to seize the market?"

"It turns out that Daying is the one who stole the country's orthodoxy."

"Poor Sanqing, she really made wedding clothes for others."

"u1s1, it seems that Sanqing has indeed infringed on the patent rights this time, and it is not surprising that it was banned. Besides, drug R\u0026D crashes are actually a very normal and reasonable thing. We still have to look at this issue objectively, and we can't always make conspiracy theories. .”

"I reported it upstairs, 500,000 walking, I'm ready to see the car."

"Let's get rid of the Internet!"

Netizens were filled with righteous indignation, and the crowd was furious, and they complained for Sanqing one after another.

They kept pouring into Weikang's homepage, expressing their support and leaving countless words of comfort and encouragement.

"Damn it!"

"Don't be afraid when you meet bad guys, grab a stick and beat these idiots!"

"I decided to boycott imported medicines in the future, and only take Sanqing medicines if I want to take them."

"Come on! Huaxia thalassemia patients will always be with Sanqingzhan."

"Mr. Wei, don't cry, call for Sanqing."

This scene is heartwarming.
