Haha, sorry for the confusion. No I don't mean you of course, I mean patent trolls. Organisations that buy patents and anyone who uses that patent must pay them. In fact they do not produce anything, they only make production more expensive.
A patent system is useful to protect investments in sincere inventions, the current patent system is way off road. They try to patent everything.
We're not off topic. Treaties like ACTA hit also on medicine. Possibly and hopefully not our medicines, but it surely might.
