Viral image about patents for viruses is misleading
A post on Facebook seems to claim that a number of viruses have been patented.
Some of these patents are for potential cures or vaccines for the diseases listed. Some are for patents of the pathogens themselves. This does not mean whoever applied for the patent invented the viruses. Some of the patents have been abandoned or have lapsed.
“AIDS US-Patent 5676977”
This patent number does exist, though it is not an effective cure for AIDS, or a patent on the virus (HIV) which causes AIDS. The patent is for “tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices” which the inventors wanted to develop as a cure for AIDS.
Filing a patent is not the same as creating an effective cure for something, as none of the same testing needs to take place to file a patent. The patent has now expired.
“H1N1 US-Patent 8835624”
US Patent number 8835624 is for something called an aptamer, which is a tiny strand of DNA or RNA which can bind to certain target molecules on the surface of a pathogen. This patent number applies to an aptamer that binds to H1N1 Influenza A, also known as swine flu. The scientists applying for the patent wanted to use the aptamer to detect the presence of the virus. The patent is not for the swine flu virus itself.
“Ebola US-Patent 20120251502”
US patent application publication number 2012/0251502 A1 is for a strain of human Ebola virus called EboBun and was applied for by the US Department of Health.
This does not mean the US government invented the virus. It applied for the patent for the new virus, not to make money from its use, but so it can allow companies to use the virus to create potential vaccines, and stop companies from restricting research around it.
According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the status of the patent application is “abandoned”.
“Swine Flu US-Patent CA2741523”
This number is a patent application number made by the US Centres of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the Ebola virus EboBun, not swine flu. This application was made to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. Again, the existence of this application does not mean the CDC invented the virus. The patent has not been granted.
“BSE US-Patent 0070031450 A1”
We couldn’t find a US patent or patent application with exactly this number. However, there is a now-abandoned patent, with an application number only one digit away from this. This wasn’t a patent for BSE (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease) itself, but for a type of animal vaccine that included a protein resistant to changes caused by BSE.
“ZIKA ATTC VR-84 (Rockefeller Foundation)”
This sequence of letters and numbers is not a patent or an application number—it’s just the name of a particular strain of the Zika virus. ATCC stands for the American Type Culture Collection, which is an organisation that amongst other things, collects samples of different pathogens. VR-84 is the name of the Zika strain that was first isolated by scientists.
The Rockefeller Foundation did not patent the virus. The virus was originally deposited into the ATCC by Dr Jordi Casals of the Rockefeller Foundation Virus Laboratory in 1953. The original source was isolated from the blood of a rhesus monkey in 1947. According to the Rockefeller Foundation, other viruses were also identified at that laboratory, located in Uganda.
“SARS US-Patent 7897744 & 8506968”
The first number is a US patent for the genomic sequences for the SARS virus, applied for by the Canadian Public Health Agency.
This particular patent application was made in 2004, after the first SARS outbreak in 2002. This does not mean the Canadian Public Health Agency invented the SARS virus. The CDC also applied for a patent on SARS, to keep information on it in the public domain. There was some concern at the time that if private companies had patents to the genetic data of the virus, it might hinder efforts to create vaccines or cures.
The second number is a now expired patent for “SARS vaccine compositions and methods of making and using them”.
“CORONAVIRUS US-Patent 10130701”
A patent application from 2015 does exist for one type of coronavirus, but not the same one as the new one identified in Wuhan, which has now been named Covid-19.
Coronavirus is a broad category of viruses that includes the common cold, SARS, and Covid-19.
The patent number mentioned here refers to a “live attenuated” version of the avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Live attenuated IBV is essentially a weakened version of the virus, patented with the aim of eventually developing it into a vaccine against the disease for birds and other animals. IBV is in the same family as the new Wuhan coronavirus (which is now known as Covid-19).
We’ve written more about this subject here.
This article is part of our work fact checking potentially false pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. You can read more about this—and find out how to report Facebook content—here. For the purposes of that scheme, we’ve rated this claim as partly false because not all of the patents are for the viruses themselves—the rest are for cures or related products to the diseases, or have expired.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Thank you. I found that out myself yesterday.
” Viral image about patents for viruses is misleading”
Almost impossible to make heads or tails of anything, anymore.
” ‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks,’ is one of those lines from Shakespeare that is so very simple, but expresses enormous complexity of thought and emotion. It is spoken by Prince Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude, in Act 3, Scene 2 of the play, Hamlet.
The phrase is used frequently in modern English discourse, usually in the form of a slight reversal: ‘methinks the lady doth protest too much.’ With the ‘methinks’ at the beginning. It’s a cynical, ironic, somewhat sarcastic comment about someone overdoing a denial, suggesting that they are, indeed, to some degree guilty.”

Wondered myself, thanks for the effort. Still unsure of Your intent?
One thing I do believe? I do believe that EVIL is Very Real, and in fact…
Revelation 12:12
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
King James Version (KJV)
Dr. David Martin has been on the Vaxx / patent angle for some time. The main point is if the virus is patented , it is manmade. Even if the meme is in error, there still can be patents.
This is just one recent talk.
Must watch: This is the opening presentation by Dr David Martin on the origins of Covid in 1965 & Covid Vaccines in 1990! He speaks in front of the European Parliament International Covid Summit III in Brussels on May 3, 2023. Hear and be shocked..!
Is this fact checker legit ? Who protests too much ? Gaslighting ?
Anon,
Can you give us the patent then?
Ask dr. Malone

Original image in question.
I’m always suspect when the debunk attempt will not show the original.
I think the larger point is that the fuckin’ GOVERNMENT has no business, let alone mandate, to be screwin’ around with GOD’s Creation. They simply ARE NOT QUALIFIED. Oh, I understand that they THINK they are, and that’s the scariest part of all of this. Just look at the explosion of highly vaxxed retards wandering the streets today.
You think 20% of the population just started pumping out retards spontaneously? You’d have to be…retarded…to accept that in the first place.
First the Pharmaceutical companies create the virus, then they make billions making cures for them that do not work. They pay off the politicians, the media, the hospitals, and the insurance companies, and they all get rich together….
Well, they cannot patent any “virus” itself, because something actually has to exist to be patented.
Not true.
One does not need a prototype to patent a novel idea or process.
It must be true.
It was on the internet.
