Anavex Life Sciences Corp (AVXL)

What Reyeton says is particularly relevant. Other companies are working on new treatments for AD as opposed to the drugs on the market that do not work. Anavex is, among other things, focusing on protecting its market, lawfully of course, so that it will be able to recoup its efforts and investment over all of the years it has spent to develop its drugs. This is in no way a criticism of Anavex. What I mean to say is that many other companies are attempting to develop drugs along the same lines as Anavex's drug discoveries. The way to protect Anavex's market lawfully is through filing patents. Patent monopolies are lawful and for good reason.
