Chipping away, page-32

Good work Hsingh, and therein lies the problem I allude to - the foundation scientific IP does not have a great deal of protection, though there have been subsequent efforts made to shore this up.

Just how robust this additional protection is, in reality, can only be the subject of speculation. My speculation would be that its not rock-solid, but it may only need to be solid-enough

Short length of patent protection isn't necessarily the end of the world, though I doubt the science is that challenging to recreate. And how many other viruses out there are being currently tested anyway?
