I've been approached by an accomplished researcher who has a
break-through against a major tropical disease. He does not want to
profit and wants his discovery to benefit patients rather than
companies. He asked me whether he could donate his invention to the
Health Impact Fund (obviously infeasible). What's the best way of
protecting the invention from patenting by others without obstructing
access to it? Thanks, Thomas Pogge
