Trade and Patent Update
The Economist weighs in on Thailand vs. big pharma, pointing out the implications for the generic industry. India's robust generic industry has gone from ignoring patents to seeking to honor them as the companies develop their own drugs and methods of production. That would seem to give some credence to the argument that patents, wherever they may be enforced, are key to innovation.
Also, some discussion of the Bush-Democratic trade deal.
