Not only has the opponent not (explicitly) consented to the use of VICO for oral proceedings before the EBA, but they have requested postponement of the proceedings scheduled for 28 May AND raised further objections to the composition of the EBA. [08:22] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-register.epo.org | European Patent Register [08:22] schestowitz Whilst I do not find all of the opponent's new objections to be compelling, it seems to me that there is enough substance to their complaints to justify the EBA taking extraordinary measures to guarantee the (perception of) their independence for this case. It remains to be seen whether the EBA will take the bait ... though if they do not, then the persistence of objectively justifiable fears about the partiality of certain members of [08:22] schestowitz the EBA will cast a dark cloud over the public's perception of the independence of the EBA.

The issue really is one of technology and capability. Vaccines are complex products that require specialised facilities for production. Even for 'standard' technologies, some vaccines may take 1 to 2 years to manufacture. Much of this extended timeline is due to quality and [11:57] schestowitz safety testing at each stage. The patent debate and waiver discussion are a smokescreen. What developing countries need is investment in science and GMP manufacturing capabilities. Compulsory licensing and patent waivers will not solve anything.
