The German government announced Thursday that it rejects the Biden administration s proposal to waive patent and other intellectual property protections on COVID vaccines in a bid to expand access and increase the number of people around the world who have been immunized against the Wuhan coronavirus.
Saying it would cause severe complications for vaccine production, a spokesperson for the government explained why Germany would not entertain such a plan: The limiting factors in the production of vaccines are the production capacities and the high quality standards and not patents. The protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and must remain so in the future.
