• El lucro multimillonario de las multinacionales farmacéuticas – www.bolpress.com

  Solo el 5% de las patentes de Roche para estas dos moléculas son primarias. El 95% restante tiene que ver con patentes secundarias que blindan un proceso de fabricación (40%); formulaciones, dosis o métodos de administración (30%); métodos de empleo (13%), o combinaciones con otras sustancias activas (12%). Conocida en inglés como “evergreening”, esta estrategia de modificaciones menores para acumular abusivamente patentes secundarias es práctica común en la industria farmacéutica. Roche en Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, ha gestionado 16 patentes secundarias para trastuzumab y pertuzumab, todas con títulos idénticos. Trece de esas patentes fueron aprobadas.
