The only thing I can think of that might be just, and lend to innovation in the free market, is to take a few years off of the patent length.(as you mentioned) But you know they will make that up by raising the price while it is still under patent. Nothing comes free. And they would have to change the language of the application to notate the shorter length of patent if taking government aid of any sort. And it can't be applied to former grants & such that did not have that language when given.
But that is not the government 'taking the patent.' That is highway robbery,(slave labor of researchers, and university and private labs) for the government to 'take'/steal a patent. Kamala is showing her true colors here, and inhibiting the free market by championing this type of socialist policy as her agenda. You know she is talking about taking patents with drugs that are already on the market, not future drugs. That is wrong, and highly illegal, despite her insistence that she can do it, if she has the will. She's speaking out of her socialist ass on this. That is very illegal to do without it in the language of grant applications and such, especially in western socialist type governments of the first world. The only countries that pull what she is talking about are dictatorships and third world countries. Not a good look.
