Robin shook his head helplessly and continued, “Criele for instance, is known as the world’s hub for low- cost generic drugs.

“In Draconia, a bottle of the patented drug Caffepan costs 40,000 dollars, while in Criele, it’s only 200 dollars–and it’s legal. Many nations rely on their pharmaceutical products.

“Criele has turned into the world’s drug manufacturing hub due to its use of compulsory licensing for

patents.

“Countries such as Autreynia manage drug–patient relationships through patent monopoly regulations.

“These enforced measures can provide a temporary solution to the high cost of life–saving medications,

offering patients a chance to extend their lives affordably.

“International patent law includes a unique clause that allows for compulsory licensing of pharmaceutical patents for public health reasons.

“Putting market rules aside and looking at this from a humanitarian angle, patent laws in the pharmaceutical field sometimes make exceptions for patents related to life–saving treatments. This perspective is rooted in the goal of treating illnesses and saving lives.

“Criele’s approach is to enforce compulsory licensing on health–related patents. While this method is somewhat forceful and does harm the interests of patent holders to an extent, it has given many critically ill patients a chance to live longer.

“This strategy has earned genuine praise and widespread support from people across different countries and regions.

“Nations like Draconia and Elaria, although they also allow compulsory licensing of patents, have never put it into practice.
