Chen Duoduo frowned and asked, "Do your boss have paranoia for persecution? It's already the 21st century now, and the laws on patents are very strict. As long as your medicine has been applied for a patent, you don't have to worry about others stealing your formula."

Wei Liang shook his head and said, "Ms. Chen still doesn't know that the current pharmaceutical industry has strict patent protection and can be implemented only by chemical synthetic drugs."

Chen Duoduo asked: "Chemical synthetic drugs? What does it mean?"

Wei Liang said: "Chemical synthetic drugs have strict and clear chemical molecular equations, and their chemical structure is also very stable. For example, Glenin, a special drug for treating leukemia, is based on chemical structure. It is imatinib methanesulfonate, which is one of the best-selling tumor-specific drugs produced by Novartis, Switzerland. As long as Novartis applies for a patent for this chemical equation, any other company will be considered infringement as long as it produces chemical products with the same ingredients."

After a pause, Wei Liang said: "However, Chinese medicine is not a chemical product itself. It is a variety of different Chinese medicine materials, which are matched in specific proportions to achieve the effect of curing diseases. It is difficult to apply for a patent for this formula, and it is difficult to effectively protect by patent law, and it is even difficult to sue others for infringement."

"For example, everyone knows isatis root powder? Its main ingredients are isatis root and sucrose. How can this formula be applied for a patent? As long as the formula is leaked, ordinary people can get the formula and make it at home. Pharmaceutical factories can't take these ordinary people to court, right?"

Chen Duoduo said: "Even if ordinary people cannot sue infringement, at least pharmaceutical factories can always sue infringement, right?"

Wei Liang shook his head and said, "Ms. Chen, what you think is too simple. First of all, this kind of thing that exists in nature is difficult to apply for a patent. For example, almost the whole of Asia uses rice as the staple food. If one day research shows that rice can be used to treat a certain disease, then a pharmaceutical company will take rice to apply for a patent, and it is impossible for international patent organizations to pass it."

"And even if it is a complex formula, although it can apply for a patent, the chances of being cracked by competitors are very high. Take the prescription for removing dampness as an example. As long as you make some adjustments based on the original, such as changing the dosage ratio slightly, and replacing some drugs with other similar medicinal materials, you can perfectly avoid patents without much affecting the efficacy of the medicine."

"So, in the final analysis, the patent protection of Chinese patent medicines is very weak. To avoid being infringed to the greatest extent, the best way is to take the lead and let consumers recognize our brands and medicines. In this way, even if the competitors copy drugs similar to ours, we can still seize the initiative at the consumer level."

"This is like Yunnan Baiyao. There are actually many types of drugs on the market that have similar effects as Yunnan Baiyao. Their ingredients and formulas are basically the same. However, because Yunnan Baiyao became famous earlier and has a good mass base among the common people, those generic drugs cannot damage the foundation of Yunnan Baiyao."

Chen Duoduo curled his lips: "You said so much, I just want to ask you one question. Did your prescription also come from ancient Chinese prescriptions? Is this equivalent to saying that you are also plagiarizing the achievements of your ancestors?"

Wei Liang shook his head: "I really don't know this."

"Don't you know?" Chen Duoduo was even more puzzled and asked him: "Where did the medicine you produced yourself come from? Don't you know?"

Wei Liang said seriously: "The prescription was produced by our boss."

"Your boss?" Chen Duoduo asked in surprise: "Is the boss a doctor?"

Wei Liang had infinite respect on his face and sighed: "Our boss is the real dragon on earth, Hua Tuo of the present world!"

"Tsk!" Chen Duoduo said disdainfully: "Stop bragging here, what is the real dragon on earth? Hua Tuo in the world, and now there are really people who dare to call these titles?"
