The extension of patent on HIV drugs is contested

The pharmaceutical giant Gilead Sciences Inc has been accused by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders for corporate misconduct regarding the development of its anti-HIV drug called 'Descovy'.

The decision of the US Office is awaited.
