I learned of a "patent incident" while in school. The drug Prilosec (omeprazole) was a popular prescription medication for many years. It is a daily med to stop heartburn, now available OTC.
Of course, the drug lost its patent protection at the height of its popularity (that is just the ebb and flow of these sorts of drugs.) That meant generics were able to be manufactured - hitting producer AstraZeneca's finances badly.
AstraZeneca goes back to the drawing board to figure out how to replace the lost cash cow of Prilosec. The result? The prescription drug Nexium - a "brand new heartburn medication." EUREKA! Cash flow restored - and Nexium becomes the new prescription med of choice.
Except there is this one thing: remember how I said Prilosec's name is "omeprazole"? Well, Nexium's name is really "esomeprazole." It is nearly 100% chemically similar to Prilosec - with the caveat being that it is a "mirror image". That difference isn't novel, or unique. But it was enough to give AstraZeneca another patent on a heartburn medication.
I guarantee you this: the new protease inhibitors being developed will be nearly 100% similar to Ivermectin. It is a tried and true formula for restoring profits to Big Pharma. They get to be hailed as heroes that released us from vaccine mandates, they get to roll in the money derived from sales, and they get none of the blame for any deficiencies the vaccines may have. It is literally a WIN-WIN for them.
