Government buys Cipro row exposes patent breach fallout
Critics say Health Canada bypassed Section 19 of the Patent Act to push a $1.5 million Apotex deal for 900,000 Cipro tablets while Bayer held the patent. Bayer disputes being asked for extra supply, and Apotex would be paid anyway, with pills ultimately handed to Bayer. The piece accuses the Liberal government of arrogance and misused funds amid anthrax fears.
