The compulsory license was a deeply disruptive misapplication of patent law, prioritizing short-term local access over the innovation ecosystem that funds lifesaving R&D. It hasn't been repeated because governments rightly fear crippling the pipeline of new medicines. My life is built on that pipeline—every forecast, every R&D budget I defend at our Basel HQ is a bet on twenty years of protected return. To see a decade of work handed off like a commodity at a haat… it turns patents from a covenant into chalk dust.
