俄罗斯民航飞机迫降布拉格 (Russian Airliner Makes Forced Landing in Prague)

捷克警方说，俄罗斯航空公司的一架飞机在劫机未遂事件后紧急迫降布拉格。

警方发言人星期四说，劫机的企图在飞机上被挫败，所以警方没有必要干预。

劫持发生时，这架A320型空中客车飞机正从莫斯科飞往日内瓦。

Czech police say a Russian airliner has made an emergency landing in Prague after an hijacking attempt.

A police spokesperson (Pavel Hantak) said Thursday that police did not have to intervene because the attempted assault was foiled on board the Aeroflot flight.

The Airbus A320 was flying from Moscow to Geneva when the attempted hijacking occurred.

中国法庭支持辉瑞公司伟哥专利 (Chinese Court Backs Pfizer Patent for Viagra)

中国国家媒体报导，美国辉瑞制药公司在中国起诉两家公司复制辉瑞受欢迎的治疗男性阳萎的“伟哥”产品的案子中胜诉。

官方的新华社报导，北京一家法庭令联环药业公司和北京健康新概念制药公司停止销售类似“伟哥”的药片。法庭还要求江苏省的联环药业向辉瑞支付3万8千多美元的赔偿金。

辉瑞2005年向这两家公司提出起诉。中国地方制药公司已经加大了对专利的挑战，希望获准出售各种药品的复制品。但是，包括辉瑞制药在内的外国公司则多次呼吁中国加强对专利、版权和商标的保护。

Chinese state media say U.S. drug maker Pfizer has won a court case in China against two companies which were copying its immensely popular male impotency treatment, Viagra.

The official Xinhua news agency said that a Beijing court ordered Lianhuang Pharamceutical Company and Beijing Health New Concept Pharmacy to stop sales of pills similar to Viagra. The court also told Lianhuang Pharamceutical Company, based in Jiangsu province, to pay Pfizer more than 38-thousand dollars in compensation.

Pfizer sued the two companies in 2005. Local drug makers have stepped up patent challenges in hopes of being allowed to market generic copies of various drugs. But foreign companies including Pfizer have repeatedly called on China to tighten patent protections, copyrights and trademarks.
