Then you'll know it's one of two objectives of the act- the other being to protect innovator firms and allow them to get the benefit of their research.

Otherwise known as the patent system.

Jesus - you have no idea what you are talking about in a legal perspective, do you?

Can I just quote that for posterity?

I am neither a lawyer nor pretending to be a lawyer on the Internet. Not sure how this has degenerated into yet another example of diamond's-amazing-and-largely-fictitious-career....

If you know so much about generic entry and competition in the pharma market more broadly, can I ask you a simple question?

What is a pay for delay or reverse patent settlement and why are they so central to the current market?

 

[Manter]

Manter if you've not come across this cretin before, just stick the prick on ignore. He thinks he's a lawyer, but has trouble understanding Mr Man books.

I encountered him for the first time a few weeks ago. I failed to take the lesson from that encounter

Google it if you really want to know

 

[Diamond]

Google it if you really want to know

So no idea then.

It's easy to explain in a simple sentence.

Shall I give you some help?

Perhaps I can help you understand the nuances between a pay for delay/reverse patent settlement case between the US and the EU...

Perhaps I can point you in the direction of the major cases decided and/or in play.

Or perhaps you aren't interested because you don't really understand what we're dealing with here...

 

[Manter]

Brilliant. No idea what you're compensating for mate, but you carry on.

Please, please never have children. You will make an insufferable father

So you know about the Perindopril EC case, presumably?

Or the UK Paroxetine case?

Or the US Actavis case?

Are you going to offer me a job if I answer all these exam questions?

 

[Diamond]

Well they more or less deal with the same issue so a single essay should suffice, as you probably well know.

Perhaps you can make the points you think are salient or fuck off being a condescending arsehole?

Just because someone refuses to play your asinine juvenile games,that doesn't mean they have "no idea".
It means that they think you're an asinine juvenile cunt.

HTH.

He's even more fucking loathsome than I first thought.

See this video on the BBC:

US pharmaceutical company defends 5,000% price increase - BBC News

Absolute scum.

I remember in the film 'Love & other drugs' they were organising coach trips to Canada to stock up on prescription drugs, can certainly see why.... the whole thing is completely mad. The US Govt already spends more per person on healthcare than the UK yet they still need insurance companies etc.. too with large portions of the costs being eaten up administering insurance and paying inflated prices for drugs.

also at least some good might come out of this - he attracted the attention of Hillary Clinton who in a single tweet mentioning the managed to wipe $40 billion off the US biotech industry with mention of proposed caps

Hillary Clinton on Monday, who called the price hike “outrageous” on Twitter and responded with a proposal to cap consumer spending on drugs. Clinton’s tweet caused the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index to slide, losing more than $40 billion in market value on Monday.

and he now seems to have backed down a bit:

Turing CEO Says He'll Lower Price of Antibiotic From $750 a Pill

it seems like he's managed to piss off just about everybody

I don't feel sorry for him as he is like an extra from the wolf of Wall Street. But it is interesting that he has been pounced on whereas this happens quite a bit. Maybe it is his, er, social media persona that is to blame!

 

[DotCommunist]

people get very upset about sums that large. Very upset indeed. Perhaps this cunt should be hiring a bodyguard or two lest the hand of his fellow arseholes' wrath fall upon him in the shape of a hit.

What exactly have you contributed of any substance whatsoever here?

 

[Diamond]

The herd mentality that sometimes occurs here would be amusing if it wasn't so hypocritical, coming from "original" or "independent" thinkers.

 

[Diamond]

Properly bovine thinking.
