... or why foreign patents are less important than US patents
To me it seems the US are trying to save some money in this case, whereas
they did just about everything to protect their own profits with anti AIDS
products. This even extends beyond enforcing their patents, in that they
threatened with economic war in at least one case where a country wanted to
manufacture their own anti AIDS drugs *without* violating US patents.
National emergency? Doesn't this apply a lot more to some countries with
high numbers of HIV positive people, than to the US with a few Anthrax cases
right now [1]?

[1] To my knowledge, none of these actually requires Bayer's Cipro,
because other products are working as well for the type of bacteria
that have been found up to now.
