Sophia is an undergraduate intern at her Senator's office in Washington, DC. She loves her job, as it
allows her to see the process of lawmaking up-close and in person. Her Senator has asked her to
prepare him for an upcoming meeting with lobbyists representing the pharmaceutical industry, who
would like to see legislation extending the term of drug patents beyond twenty years. Sophia's

slower dissolving), or by combining two drugs together. After a drug loses patent protection, it
becomes much easier for generic manufacturers to copy the drug, which causes the price of the drug
to plummet, making it much more affordable for people to buy
