I'm very much reminded of the situation with the Anthrax medication in 2001 (Google "Anthrax Bayer" for relevant results). "Nice patents you have there. You know, we only think the rule of law is a good thing if it helps us, so ... make us a good deal for your medication or we may be forced to remove your patents."
