All it takes to get a new/or different patent is to change one molecule in a compound or to change the present arrangements of molecules in a patented compound. Also, adding or deleting a "filler" or inert chemical can be considered a change and may or may not be able to be patented. That's why there are so many competing colas, detergents and medications. All IMHO, of course.
