But that is exactly what IP laws prevent, competition!
Two companies working on the same disease, one gets there first, they now own that idea (for 4 years?)? The other's can't get there as well even if they were close? This is anti-competitive. The second company might make it better/safer/cheaper, but they aren't allowed to (for x amount of time).
That it is unlawful was not being questioned, I'm questioning the logic/morality of it being unlawful.
