We need to build public manufacturing systems that basically can provide a counterbalance to the private sector.
They're never going to behave unless there's actually an alternative.
And we need to start creating that alternative.
And
Oh, yeah.
No, I... You know, actually, what's interesting is...
I've sat with a lot of scientists at pharmaceutical companies.
I've sat with a lot of lawyers.
Many lawyers actually secretly, they'll never go on record, but secretly say, actually, the system's a mess.
So even the more reasonable corporate IP lawyer recognizes there are fundamental problems.
And then you speak to scientists.
I mean, I have scientists on my team who've worked in the industry for over 40 years who say a lot of the stuff that we grant patents for, they're not novel.
They're not new.
But what we've done is we've, the policies that we've created over the last 40, 50 years, we've shrouded it all in this very broad term of innovation.
And innovation can mean anything.
And this is where I think the integrity of the patent system has totally been diluted because of innovation policies in order to drive more products.
More products does not mean new science.
They're two different things.
But we've been caught up in this cultural aspects of innovation that drives everything today.
And we don't question it.
