Simon Phipps's personal commentary

Monday, October 21

Seems Mr Bush does have areas where he wants IP protection to be restricted - in particular, the release of generic medicines. Now, this seems antithetical to attitudes elsewhere (not least Eldred v Ashcroft and the DMCA), so what's going on? Is it a genuine concern for the rights of the poor? Is it that the pharmaceuticals aren't keeping up with campaign contributions? Or is it a temporary act to help with the gerrymandering of the mid-terms?
