ridiculous patents standing in the way of health professionals and doctors who provide the best care possible. Beyond the basics, such as gene patenting, the idea that diagnostic tests are patentable is a terrible thing for anyone with a sense of decency when it comes to trying to keep people healthy. But apparently, the problem does not stop there, and the medical community is suddenly faced with some doctors from the application of copyright law to block aggressive competition

of diagnostic tests become available.


The story comes from Dr. John C. Newman and Robin Feldman lawyer at the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, which tell the story of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). A simple screening test point 30 was first published in 1975, essentially become a de facto standard was used (and published!) Wide. As the authors, was available in textbooks, field guides and websites -. "Saved by residents and medical students countless", yet it sounds like a useful tool that has been put to good use. But then, decades after its creation, the authors of the diagnostic test discovered the copyright. And that's where the problems started:

In 2000, its authors, Marshal Folstein, Folstein Susan and Paul McHugh, began to take steps to enforce their rights, primarily the transfer of the right Copyright minimental, a company founded Folstein, then in 2001 to grant an exclusive worldwide license for the assessment of psychological resources (PAR) of publication, distribution and management of intellectual property rights. A licensed version of the MMSE can now be purchased from PAR $ 1.23 per test. The MMSE form is gradually disappearing in textbooks, websites, toolkits and clinics.
clinical response to this "lock" has been muted. A few commentators have expressed concern over the continued use of a tool, which is now in training or on the implications for developing countries, echoing debates on patented pharmaceuticals. In our experience, many physicians are not aware of copyright restrictions on the MMSE or simply ignored, despite the risk of copyright infringement.
But then, in March 2011, a promising new tool for cognitive screening would be available through "open access", the Sweet 16 - an assessment of 16 Items in reflection, learning and memory developed by Harvard University Tamara Fong - was removed from the Internet at the request of the RAP in a dispute over copyright apparent. The Sweet 16 has three guidance and memories, like the MMSE, with a digit span element. This action is unprecedented for a clinical assessment tool in the night, cast a chill in academia, clearly, clinicians and researchers can no longer live in blissful ignorance of copyright.

is difficult to see how this is not the abuse of copyright at the end. The copyright on the MMSE is not the "idea" of a "3 recall the subject," but the specific expression. If you look online there are different versions of the MMSE that you can find easily and seems that the content in question

really
base. For example, "the subject of three tests of memory" seems to consist of the following:


Name three objects: one second to say each. Then ask the patient all three after you have said. Give 1 point for each correct answer. Then repeat the process until he / she learns all three. Have evidence and records.


Then a few questions later, he said you should ask the patient to repeat the three objects. It's very simple - an address. This suggests a similar test in itself should not diminish at all this does not use any "creative expression" of the original (even if
any expression creative in original). And this is out of the question of whether or not there would be a fair use defense, even if the term is used accurately and completely.
But, if only to go beyond the issue of copyright by the fact that Marshal Folstein, Folstein Susan and Paul McHugh with partners, Psychological Assessment Resources (PAR), use copyright to stifle the process important and useful for the diagnosis of cognitive states, simply must be

details, published at the Press Association after a request for access to information was a review of corruption in the police found a "confusion" between the lives of officers personal professional and social networks that ran the risk of damaging the reputation of the service.

An officer of the Hampshire force was fired without notice in 2009 for writing a racist comment on Facebook. No other details were released. The figures, 41 of the 43 police forces in England and Wales, 2008 and 2010 coverage. Earlier this year an officer was fired for referring to a colleague as "grass" and a liar on Facebook and harassment of a colleague.

The figures show that seven officers - two special agents of the strength of Dorset, and an officer from each of Bedfordshire, Cheshire, Essex, north Wales, and the forces South Yorkshire -. He resigned after complaints

official resigned after the South Yorkshire on an allegation of improper disclosure of information on Facebook, while other inappropriate comments or pictures posted. Another officer, Nestor Costa of Devon and Cornwall police, was fined three days pay in 2008 after writing in a video of a young man with a knife he was approached by officers in a police station: "Look at this fucking stupid, I expect a damn good racket in the cells.

By their nature, patents create monopolies that the drug may allow prices to remain artificially high. In other areas that could be just a nuisance or an inconvenience, but in the world of drugs, may be a matter of life or death for those who can not afford such inflated prices.


To resolve this problem, several solutions have been proposed, such as price - an example of how it might work for the development of drugs to treat HIV / AIDS was discussed recently at Techdirt. An alternative approach is the use of patent pools. That's how the patent medicines explains the system:
with the common model of patents, there are several patents pooled and approved by a single entity, in order to reduce transaction costs for all parties involved. In the case of drugs, allowing lower-cost versions of patented medicines and adapted more that occur as a generic, well before its 20-year patents run out. Not only does the pool help speed up the process of obtaining badly needed new and better anti-HIV drugs to people in need, at prices much more affordable, but also encourage the development of products that do not necessary exist, as fixed-dose combination of some (FDC), pills containing two or more new drugs in one tablet, appropriate medicines such as those that can be used in hot climates, unrefrigerated, and drugs against HIV for children .
The pool is a model of win-win-win, that patent holders are compensated for sharing their patents, generic access to market makers, and patients receive appropriate medications faster and adapted to more affordable prices.
It's not a question of "expropriate" patents, but the removal of barriers and simplify licensing arrangements, so that everyone wins. Unfortunately, this is not the way Johnson & Johnson sees:
December 19, Johnson & Johnson returned to people living with HIV / AIDS in many developing countries, saying the pool refused to license its patents on the drugs against HIV rilpivirine, darunavir, and etravirine.
Johnson & Johnson is the reason? According to Doctors Without Borders / Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF):
Johnson & Johnson said there is no urgency for taking these drugs widely available in developing countries. This is simply not true. MSF treats more than 180,000 people living with HIV worldwide, and begins to witness the inevitable, a native of treatment failure, as people develop resistance to drugs you are taking and the need to switch to new drugs .

As MSF also notes:


within Johnson & Johnson and other companies to participate in a collective manner before making the drugs available to more people in all developing countries are not part of the solution, because they want the public thinks. They contribute to the problem. They want to control who can and use their drugs based on business needs rather than the needs of people living with HIV.



What makes it particularly frustrating for doctors looking to expand the availability of these drugs is that Johnson & Johnson has a whole section of your main site, entitled "Our Values Credo, "which are summarized below:
The values ??that guide our decisions are detailed in our Creed. In short, our Credo challenges us to put the needs and welfare of the people we serve first other hand, the Creed has even committed to: .
