Don't you think "Lower molecular weight of Copolymer is less toxic" is A NOVEL FINDING ????????????? I think so. How many times would you allow a company to patent the "same" treatment by narrowing the range of the components of the compound? Do you really think that narrowing the range of the compound is "novel"?* I do not. Copaxones second round of patent protection should fail - IMO. ij * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_(patent)
