Docs sue Mindef for copying


The ¿mobile medical vehicle?used by Mindef. This mobile station takes just 15 minutes to set up, which is three times faster than the time taken to set up a normal medical post, and can treat up to 200 people. It has advanced life-support systems, like a ventilator which allows customisable breathing and life support cycles and a water tank for washing wounds.

TWO doctors have taken the Government to court for patent infringement, claiming that the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) knowingly copied the concept of their mobile emergency medical station.

The Government, however, has rejected the allegation, arguing that the concept was not new.
