Hey, this is America; if you invent something, you own it.

Just kidding.

They own the genetic map of the virus. This means if they create the cure they can patent it. It doesn’t mean they produce the virus.

It’s not unusual for the CDC to own patents for vaccines. They do not own a right to all invention related to Ebola. There are numerous existing patents for Ebola prophylaxis and treatments, with both private organizations and public agencies as the patent holders.
