A chemical like insulin cannot itself be patented. A method for extracting or producing a chemical like insulin can be patented. More than one method of producing insulin has been patented during the last 100 years.
In January 1922, Leonard Thompson, a 14-year-old boy dying from diabetes in a Toronto hospital, became the first person to receive an injection of insulin. Within 24 hours, Leonard’s dangerously high blood glucose levels dropped to near-normal levels.
The news about insulin spread around the world like wildfire. In 1923, Banting and Macleod received the Nobel Prize in Medicine, which they shared with Best and Collip. Thank you, diabetes researchers!
Soon after, the medical firm Eli Lilly started large-scale production of insulin. It wasn’t long before there was enough insulin to supply the entire North American continent. In the decades to follow, manufacturers developed a variety of slower-acting insulins, the first introduced by Novo Nordisk

Soon after, the medical firm Eli Lilly started large-scale production of insulin. It wasnβt long before there was enough insulin to supply the entire North American continent. In the decades to follow, manufacturers developed a variety of slower-acting insulins, the first introduced by Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in 1936.
Insulin from cattle and pigs was used for many years to treat diabetes and saved millions of lives, but it wasnβt perfect, as it caused allergic reactions in many patients. The first genetically engineered, synthetic βhumanβ insulin was produced in 1978 using E. coli bacteria to produce the insulin. Eli Lilly went on in 1982 to sell the first commercially available biosynthetic human insulin under the brand name Humulin.
But you can certainly patent new manufacturing processes, forms, and delivery of insulin as they are "novel." The effect of regulatory requirements written by lobbyists are one way of ensuring the markets are tightly controlled by IP investors
thanks for sharing, sounds very interesting, the symbol of a plague mask... with red blood (?) does not really increase trust in the src, but has anyone tested this? X-D fourthievesvinegar.org/tooth-sβ¦
