I love how this takes a corrupt patent system and blames it on 'government regulation' http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/08/29/reverse-voxsplaining-drugs-vs-chairs/ …

Replying to @TACJ
Not a question of a patent on the epipen. It's about FDA's approval power over medical devices, and how that's implemented.

Patents aren't really relevant here, I don't think.

Epinephrine was discovered in 1895. You can patent a specific injector, but not the entire space of injectors.

Teva beat the patent case. FDA disapproved anyway. Sanoji tried, FDA *didn't like the name*. Adamis bypassed patent, FDA rejected.

Yes, Sandoz seems to have gotten bogged down in a patent case but that's not the main problem here.
