I signed and added my own comment (below).

I am concerned that Novartiss actions in India contradict its stated
commitment to conscientious global citizenship.
But I'm not surprised. You don't give a rat's a.s about anything but
money. Your company's crap about giving away drugs is just another
cheap, low-cost marketing ploy once you have the area locked up so you
can screw the crap out of more people for your horribly overpriced
drugs. You murder people with your greed. You cause suffering. You're
nothing but a bunch of international mafia-style thugs out to screw as
many people as possible. And if there is life after death, I hope you
get to experience all the pain and misery you have caused in the
world.
In the interest of public health and in order for medicines to be
available and affordable for people in India and worldwide, I urge
Novartis to:
1 Withdraw the appeal against the
Indian Patent Office on the cancer
medicine Glivec®/Gleevec®;
2 Withdraw the legal case it is
pursuing seeking changes to the
Indian Patent Law;
3 Publicly commit to the right of
developing countries to provide
cheaper medicines in the interests
of public health.
I look forward to hearing from you.
