IANAL I guess I have to admit I'm not a lawyer but I think well-read laymen are allowed to share what they have learned: Patents provide a monopoly on the practice of an invention, which can be translated into an economic benefit. If I make 10,000 of these valves that is EUR 10,000,000 that the putative patent holder couldn't have. Morally, this is no time for medically necessary parts to be scarce and expensive. Technically, I would want to know how the law applies to the situation.
