Isn't there a patent or copyright issue involved here?

No, there is basically zero commonality between this device and the EpiPen (this is a bad idea for a number of other reasons though...)

Failure rate is unknown. Consequences of failure are nasty, up to and including death.

Not to mention the whole "injecting glass into yourself" thing.

It's no less complicated than simply drawing up the medication from a rubber topped vial. It's still a bunch of things you have to unpack at the time you need it (the syringe, stopcock, and needle will all need to remain in their packaging until they're used). There are a ton of downsides...

I'm curious how they keep the vials sterile, I guess you can't really handle them until the day of and then do so with gloves on.
