[A Cousin]

Along the lines of the UK's intellectual property, it would seem that scientists at Cambridge have found a cure for the common cold. Actually what they have isolated is a protein that occurs naturally in cells that attack virus'. If an anti-viral drug based on this protein can be produced, it would act as a kind of booster to the bodies natural defenses.

What the process for patenting research etc is, I do not know. But that is a really, really big deal. It turns everything we thought we knew about how virus' work in the body and how to combat them on its ass.

What about some evil master-mind tries to steal the research? Or the patent for one of these anti-viral drugs? Or they have a super virus that is resistant to this particular protein?
