Pharmaceutical patent reform in New Zealand

John Parker

New Zealand Economic Papers, 1997, vol. 31, issue 1, 85-91

Abstract: Australia has recently announced that it is to reform its patent laws to include a supplementary protection certificate extension procedure for pharmaceuticals. This paper describes why this reform is also necessary for New Zealand, by presenting evidence of effective patent life erosion in spite of the new 20 year patent term implemented in 1995.
