\"Race<\/a><\/p>\n

The term \u201ccoronavirus\u201d and the disease COVID-19 have become ubiquitous in daily communications across the globe. While many initially asked why testing for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 was slow to roll out, and why tests in many countries were inaccurate, one question no one seems to be asking is why the pursuit of a vaccine is going so slow. Indeed, by all reports from both public and private sectors, the first viable vaccines are months, if not weeks away.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of what is being accomplished today is the result of years of innovation,\u201d said USPTO Director Andrei Iancu in a recent interview with IPWatchdog.com. \u201cIt is important not to lose track of that.\u201d Indeed, the fact that multiple companies are racing toward a vaccine in unprecedented time frames is precise because of the vast amounts of research and development that have taken place in the years leading up to the current COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
