FTC Says Brand Name Drug Redesign Violates Antitrust Law
Authored by: davecb on Monday, December 03 2012 @ 10:11 PM EST
I think we're saying different things with the same words.

For example, preventing competition is not an end or purpose, but it is a means
to achieve an end in concert with dissemination: to increase competition.

As you can see, there's lots of room for confusion, and a real need for careful
draftsmanship.

FTC Says Brand Name Drug Redesign Violates Antitrust Law

Nope. Patent law prevents copying of someone
else's patent. Competition by offering other
products or better products is very much what
it is about, which is why you are supposed to
provide the how-to, with the hope that it will
teach others who can build on what you did.
