Any patent based on publicly funded research

should be public domain as a matter of law. It is amazing that public money gets poured into research labs, and when a discovery is made it is handed over to Big Pharma along with all the intellectual property.

Talk about yet another instance of American style capitalism where corporations have their hand in taxpayer wallets instead of fending for themselves in a free market.

But I guess that isn't a surprise.
