The German government yesterday rejected the US-backed proposal to
waive all intellectual property rights to COVID vaccines.
A government spokesperson said in a statement to
multiple media outlets that the limiting factors in the production of vaccines
were the production capacities and high-quality standards, not patents.
She added that the US suggestion to waive patent protection
for COVID vaccines had significant implications for vaccine production as a
whole.
“The protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and
must remain so in the future.
Other European government heads, however, expressed support
for the proposal to waive IP rights for COVID vaccines. French president

The sign outside the main entrance to Facebook’s HQ.
Facebook has introduced a new tool allowing users more control over who can comment on their public posts, potentially protecting small business owners from costly defamation lawsuits.
The tool will allow businesses to control who comments, choosing whether to let anyone who can see the post comment, or whether to restrict commenting to either friends only, or the people and pages tagged.
The setting can be applied either to every public post on your profile, or to individual posts.
In a statement, Facebook said the change is designed to help offer users and organisations more control of the conversation around their posts, and to “limit potentially unwanted interactions”.
