Another two years patent protection possible?I read this in the National Post regarding the recent US trade agreement with Mexico. Patent protection on prescription drugs increased to 10 years from 8. Would this apply to Spectral if the same agreement is reached with Canada? 'To Canadas benefit, the Mexicans agreed to higher North American content and wages in auto production. To its detriment, the two countries agreed to extend patent protection for pharmaceuticals to 10 years from eight. Privately, Canadian officials concede that agreement is likely to stand in any trilateral deal, to the chagrin of generic drug producers and provincial governments that have to purchase the drugs.'
