==Counterfeit pills== Like other spamvertised pharmacies, Trusted Tabs claims to be selling generic versions of medications like Viagra which are still under patent protection. It isn't legal to make such drugs without a license from the patent holder. Any drugs for sale are illegal counterfeits at best. As such, there is no way of getting a reputable company to certify that they contain the stated medication in the stated amount. That doesn't stop these companies from trying to make you believe it: '''Your pills do not look like the brand name medication. The pills I have received ''' have a different name printed on them. Why? As we have already mentioned that no manufacturer can take out a patent for a chemical agent. Thus generics can have the exactly same active ingredients as the brand pills. However, names and appearance (shape and color) of medications can be and are always patented and should be treated as the intellectual property. Thus using the name and the shape of the brand pills a manufacturer producing generic medications will be accused of the copyright infringement. This is why generic pills look different, they are of a different color and have a different shape if compared to a brand name pill. They're trying to confuse you regarding "patents" and trademarks" here. (Not too difficult, since they're violating both types of laws!) A manufacturer most certainly ''can'' take out a patent for a chemical agent, at least, it can do so in the name of one of the employees it paid to develop it. In the US, that patent lasts twenty years, including any time spent doing the testing to prove its safety and efficacy to the US Food and Drug Administration. (It may be extended longer if the manufacturer spends money on studies proving additional uses for that chemical. For instance, Viagra has been shown to be effective in a condition called pulmonary hypertension that previously had very few treatments available, and the manufacturer might obtain an extension of its patent if it did studies to have that use added to the officially approved labeling.) Manufacturers will apply for patents in other countries at the same time they apply in the US, and various treaties will require countries to respect one another's patents. While some countries may not respect them, it is definitely not legal to smuggle such items into the US, and it has led to significant [http://www.philly.com/inquirer/special/pill/ jail terms] for those caught doing so. The name and appearance of the pills is covered by "trademark" law, and does not expire as long as the company defends that trademark. So even after Viagra can be sold generically, it would not be legal to show pictures of Viagra tablets if that isn't what they're actually selling.
