Supreme Court unanimously invalidates Pfizer's patent on Viagra, citing that it fails to meet the quid pro quo required for patenting: you get a temporary monopoly, in exchange for explaining how your invention works so anyone else can copy it once your patent expires. Since Pfizer didn't disclose what's actually in Viagra in the patent, their patent is invalid.

So now all that spam about cheap Canadian Viagra can actually deliver on the promise?

I mean, they still won't, obviously. But they could.

Must be nice to have a Scalia-free Supreme Court.
