Well, from reading the gild 10Q, because the gild compounds were already known (ie they were either in P1 or P2), Abbvie patented the combination of a bunch of possible compounds even though they were not approved or nowhere near it.

What boggles my mind is how such a construct can be patented ? It says a lot about the way the law or rule is constructed and how humans interpreted it. Everything seems arbitrary. It's a real let down and an eye opener for me.

As an aside, US SC says that not only corporations are people, and because of that people have right of speech hence no limit on political contribution and lately people have right of religious beliefs and thus so do corporations.

Well, that is a lot of BS to me. A corporation although is a legal entity, it is a far stretch to believe it is a person and as a person it is 1 million time more powerful than you or me.

How does a society remain free and equal if there exists a minority of people who overwhelms everyone else ?
