Drug Patent Thickets: Layers of Language, Layers of Consequences

In February, "Patent Thickets Begin" was on display in the West Virginia University Health Sciences Library in Morgantown. The exhibit Prescriptions for Change: Value Voting in Healthcare rotates one work per month along with a response from a member of the community during the 2024-25 academic year. Here's an abstract for a New England Journal of Medicine article by WVU College of Law Professor S. Sean Tu. Co-authored with Bernard Chao, University of Denver Sturm College of Law; Ryan Whalen, University of Hong Kong; and Aaron S. Kesselheim, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, it includes a link to the full article, "Clearing Dense Drug-Patent Thickets."
