Scene of Japan Now 

About 20 Japanese companies, including Toyota, Canon, and Ajinomoto will release patents and other intellectual property held in Japan and overseas for free to help fight COVID-19, according to Nikkei.

Wow, what an epoch-making event! In normal times, information related to patents and other intellectual property cannot be provided for free.

So I cannot help but think at the same time this means things about COVID-19 are not as easy as all that.
