Abstract

This article focuses on the protection of intellectual property rights for pharmaceutical products from the perspective of developing countries. Mindful of the impact on both price and availability of medicines, the author subjects the international intellectual property rights regime, as well as common domestic practices, to critical scrutiny. Emphasizing that the WTO’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights does not impose international uniformity, Prof. Correa discusses all of the significant areas where developing countries have scope for fashioning their intellectual property law in ways that may best realize public health objectives while providing the necessary protections to rights holders within the internationally agreed upon framework.
