In reply to Lexapro will turn into Celexapro after Patent isup, posted by KimStereo on November 13, 2008, at 12:02:30
Yes but how is making the patent longer going to change things ? Shorter patents mean the company has to start working on a new drug sooner before the paten wears off. Otherwise they will just have longer to sit on their backsides enjoying the money their patented drugs are making while waiting to release their slightly modified version. The only people that will be effected by longer patents are the people waiting for generic versions so they can afford the drug.
