Take a look at our Patent Reform Primer!

Why should young adult patients care about patent reform? Why does it matter, and how can you learn more? Check out our Patent Reform Primer!

Many young adult patients with chronic and rare conditions require a lifetime of access to treatments and therapies, costing them thousands and thousands of dollars.

Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry abuses loopholes in the patent system to increase profits and, as a result, patients are often denied access to more affordable alternatives and are unable to afford the prescription medications they need to live.

To ensure affordable access to essential medication, these abuses of our current patent system must end. This primer is meant to educate young adult patients in our community by briefly introducing the different patent abuse practices employed by brand-name pharmaceutical companies.
