By filing secondary patents on minor, superficial adjustments rather than creating new chemical breakthroughs, companies prevent low-cost generic alternatives from reaching desperate patients.Watch as AOC holds up a standard asthma inhaler to reveal that a major drug manufacturer blocked a generic launch simply by patenting a small plastic cap piece designed to keep the lid from falling off. She also exposes how AbbVie used a matching strategy on the drug Humira, stacking over 130 patents to spike the price from $500 to nearly $3,000 per syringe. #AOC #AlexandriaOcasioCortez #BigPharma #Healthcare #Congress #PatentEvergreening #BreakingNews
