Trademark Bugs: A Legal History

5. Legal Implications of Combat

It is hard to assess the long-term impact of the financial success of Trademark Bugs, and is beyond the scope of the present paper. The purpose of this final section is to consider the potential consequence of on-going litigation pertaining to the Bangladeshi Conflict (This section as a whole, and this sentence inn particular, does note carry the unanimous imprimatur of the authors. “Bangladeshi Conflict” was agreed by a narrow majority over “Asian Continental War” and “First Asian Continental War”, both of which are in common online usage.) The high casualty figures of this conflict (АПУ scholars wanted this clause replaced with « Casualties have been sustained, but precise figures have not been agreed ». In the Russian and Ukrainian translation of this paper the АПУ phrasing has been preferred, and the RPSL phrasing relegated to a footnote), as much as the central role played by Pharma company, render it a test-case for the on-going development of Trademark Bugs in the future of international relations (The original draft included the parenthesis “… (such that some have dubbed the war commercial completion pursued via military means, see Gharrai 2099)…” Citing it in a footnote was the compromise agreed upon,, with the added consideration that this footnote not be cited by any third party as indicative of the official conclusion of this paper.) What is clear is that conflict represents basis of civic and legal management of Trademark Bugs, up to and including a complete restatement of the Porter Rules for their commercial exploitation.

Despite being officially termed the “Bangladeshi War”, the conflict has spread across a much larger area than the Bay of Bengal. At the same time it is also true that the Battle for the port of Chattagrama – in Bangladesh – has been one of the biggest of the war so far. The whole region has suffered much more markedly from climate change than other areas on the globe, and economic growth of an averagely consistent 3% per 5 years has been diluted by outstripping population increases. The whole area shares with central Mexico the destination of the world’s highest rates of untreated Trademark Bug infections. At the same time, the Big Three have directed in excess of Euros 5 billion humanitarian aid, including euros 220 million worth of free antiseptic soap, dispersed in the area since 2091.

The mai antagonists in the war (despite the use of nation-state shell identities) are generally agreed as being Bayer on the one hand, and on the other an alliance of smaller, ambitious and emergent pharmaceutical companies, led by the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Union (MPMU). The latter brought together troops from Myanmar, Malasya and India; the former deployed armies from Russian Federation and EU states. The specific flashpoints – control of the lucrative industrial centres positioned along the Karnaphuil River – are less relevant to our present discussion than the way the war has been prosecuted.
