Twо exаmples оf pаtent аpplicatiоns are provided below: GlucoMonitor, and Spork-a-Pen. Assume that neither invention infringes upon exiting patents. Explain why each invention warrants patent protection or not, making sure to refer to the economic purpose of patent law and the principles discussed in class. Product A: "GlucoMonitor" A pharmaceutical company spends a decade and $1 billion on research and development to create a novel drug that, for the first time, safely reverses cellular insulin resistance, effectively curing Type 2 diabetes. A rival lab could easily reverse-engineer and replicate the drug's chemical formula for a tiny fraction of that cost. Product B: "The Spork-a-Pen" An inventor takes a standard plastic spork and drills a hole in the handle, into which he inserts the ink cartridge from a ballpoint pen, creating an all-in-one eating and writing utensil.
