Are you implying it doesn't happen right now? I'm brazilian, and over here there's cases of american and european scientists patenting drugs using components from herbs that are traditional to our native people... Then they patent it and we can't use our own plants in our industry because it's been patented.

Do they patent the plant, or do they patent the processing of the plant to make drugs?

The glaring question here is why your native industries don’t patent your native herbs if it’s profitable.
