At seven o'clock the next morning, Director Liu came to the hospital more than half an hour earlier than usual. When he walked into the neurology ward and saw the doctors on duty last night, he immediately asked: "Little

Zhou! Xiao Xie! How are the conditions of the patients who participated in the clinical trial yesterday?"

"Director! Although we haven't arranged for the patient to go for examination yet, through our observation last night, the drug developed by Director Chen can indeed treat spinal muscular atrophy." Dr. Zhou heard Director Liu's inquiry.

Thinking of what he had discovered while observing the babies in clinical trials from time to time during his shift last night, he excitedly told Director Liu the news that the patient's condition had improved.

When Director Liu heard Dr. Zhou's report, an ecstatic expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Wait for me for a while. I'll change clothes first, and then I'll go see these babies."

Not long after, Director Liu led several doctors to a room. Several parents of babies in the ward stood up from their chairs when they saw Director Liu's arrival. One of the young people said to Liu excitedly.

The director thanked: "Director Liu! Since my child was injected with your new drug, he slept from last night to this morning. This is the best night my son has slept since he was diagnosed."

"Director Liu! My child would cough from time to time before yesterday. After being injected with the new drug, the number of coughs has been significantly reduced. The effect of this new drug is simply great!" Another mother of a baby heard from the hospital bed next door.

As for the family members, thinking of their son's performance last night, they spoke excitedly.

Director Liu was also very excited when he heard the situation described by the two patients' families. He quickly ordered the doctors following him: "Xiao Zhou! Xiao Xie! Immediately arrange for relevant examinations for all patients participating in the clinical trial.

, tell me as soon as the test results come out.”

After Director Liu finished making work arrangements, he immediately turned around and returned to his office. Then he picked up the phone on his desk and quickly pressed out a set of phone numbers.

Director Liu didn't wait long before the call was connected. Director Liu didn't wait for the other party to speak and said excitedly: "Dean Liu! Good morning! My name is Luo Ping, and I have good news to tell you."

When Liu Zhongming on the other end of the phone heard Director Liu mention the words "good news", he immediately thought of the clinical trial conducted yesterday and asked with a smile: "Old Liu! You just conducted a clinical trial yesterday, how come you have it today?"

What’s the good news? Have all the babies who participated in the clinical trials recovered?”

When Liu Luoping heard Liu Zhongming's inquiry, he thought that the conditions of those babies had begun to improve, and replied with a smile: "Director Liu! The medicine studied by Director Xiao Chen is not a magic medicine, how can it be possible to cure these children's diseases overnight?

?”

"The good news I want to tell you is that the conditions of these babies who participated in the clinical trial began to improve after being injected with the new drug developed by Director Chen. This means that the drug developed by Director Chen has the hope of curing spinal cord muscle disease.

Atrophy.”

Liu Zhongming had great trust in Chen Tianlin's medical skills. When Liu Zhongming heard the news Liu Luoping told him, he was not surprised. Instead, he replied with a smile: "Old Liu! Don't you even look at Xiao Chen?"

Who, if the new drug he is researching has no effect, will he let you conduct clinical trials? And Xiao Chen told me with certainty yesterday that the new drug he is researching has an 80% chance of curing spinal cord muscles.

Atrophy, I didn’t expect that the condition of the babies participating in the clinical trial would begin to improve after just one night.”

When Director Liu heard what Liu Zhongming said, he thought about the sensation this news would cause in the international medical community. He quickly suggested to Liu Zhongming: "Director Liu! I have arranged for examinations of these babies participating in the clinical trial.

I believe the results will be available soon, and I think our hospital can contact the news media immediately to announce the news to the public!"

Liu Zhongming also had thoughts about Liu Luoping when he learned the news. However, considering Chen Tianlin's character, he did not do so immediately. Instead, he called Chen Tianlin to discuss it, but he learned about it from Chen Tianlin.

Matters concerning patent application.

Liu Zhongming heard Liu Luoping's suggestion and thought of what Chen Tianlin had said to him before, so he replied: "Old Liu! Xiao Chen is planning to apply for a patent from the relevant departments after the drug passes clinical trials. If we want to announce this news to the outside world,

We must wait for the patent of the drug to be approved before it can be officially announced to the public."

Liu Luoping had heard of the word patent before. When Liu Luoping learned of Chen Tianlin's decision, a puzzled expression appeared on his face and he asked in confusion: "Dean Liu! Applying for patents is something foreigners like to do.

, why would Director Xiao Chen think about applying for a patent?"

Liu Zhongming did not expect that Liu Luoping had heard of patents, but what Liu Luoping said later made Liu Zhongming realize immediately. Although Liu Luoping had heard of patents, he did not pay much attention to the patent application issue like him. Thinking of what Chen Tianlin told

Regarding his patent-related cases, Liu Zhongming said with a serious face: "Old Liu! I just heard Xiao Chen mention the word patent yesterday. When I heard you say it just now, I thought you knew it better than me.

Patents, I didn’t expect that your understanding of patents is only superficial.”

“Since the reform and opening up, our country’s scientific researchers have made significant progress in many fields. However, because we don’t pay much attention to patents, some foreign speculators have immediately applied for patents after stealing our research results, etc.

When our products begin to be exported abroad, the other party will hold the patent and prevent our products from being exported, or they will take the opportunity to demand high patent fees from the manufacturers."

"Zhiailing and Zhiweiling are both Chinese patent medicines and require special production equipment. Even if medical institutions in other countries obtain the formulas of these two medicines, they will not be able to produce qualified medicines. But the medicine you used this time,

They are genuine Western medicines, and Western medical experts can easily imitate these medicines as long as they obtain samples of the medicines."

"In order to prevent similar things from happening again, Xiao Chen decided to apply for a patent as soon as possible after the drug passed clinical trials. Even if foreign medical institutions cracked the formula of the drug, they would not dare to blatantly produce it."

When Liu Luoping heard the situation introduced by Liu Zhongming, he understood why Chen Tianlin wanted to apply for a patent, and said with approval: "Dean Liu! Xiao Chen still has the foresight. In order to prevent the formula of the medicine from being stolen by other institutions, I think it cannot be disclosed to the outside world for the time being.
