The agreement to sell the most famous slimming drug of the moment
It was recently reported that the Brazilian company BIOMM has signed an agreement with the pharmaceutical industry BIOCON to distribute in Brazil a drug similar to Ozempic, indicated for the treatment of diabetes, but used mainly to treat obesity. However, this will only be possible because the patent holder of the drug has certainly authorized, through a technology transfer agreement, the use of its patent in exchange for royalty payments.

Until then, the manufacture and sale of the drug is restricted to the patent holder, or to third parties who license the technology / know-how, which is what happened in this case.
