patents expire. so nestle shoudln't be able to "patenting human milk proteins for decades"
Patents can be renewed, to my knowledge, and "for decades" as in "since the 90s".
Usually, patents have a lifetime for 20 years. Maybe you get an extension for 5 years. From were do you have the info that patents can be renewed?
Patents can't be renewed. After expiring, they become public domain.
For decades may as well be anything from 20 years up, afaik patents may live for 50 years so this seems to work fine
