Patents are meant to serve the mankind, not to be used accessories to cause predatory pricing that makes essential life saving medicine inaccessible to American people due to unreasonable price increase as is the case with Mylan's EpiPen. Before Mylan, Valeant used similar tactic. Before these companies, KaloBios Pharmaceuticals also raised prices drastically. Once the motive of a company is proven that the drastic price rise is arising from the monopolistic power derived from patent to make medicines unaffordable, the monopolistic power must be curtailed to make medicines accessible.
