[QUOTE="FedExRookie, post: 1267704, member: 44400"] After a company makes a product, medicine, they have the rights to be the only company to produce that medicine for several years. The reasoning is so that they can get back the millions if not billions spent in R&D creating it, with a short bit of time in the tail end of the window to monopolize some profits. Once this time frame is over, other companies can start making generic brands, which are almost the exact same thing. So even the generic brands are filling the pockets of pharmaceutical companies that net billions a year. Generics just help fill the pockets of companies that copied a drug. [/QUOTE]
