Pharmaceutical patent laws in South East Asian countries

Christopher Arup

Chapter 12 in Intellectual Property Law in South East Asia, 2023, pp 378-410 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines how the laws of six countries in South East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand) fit within the WTO TRIPS and regional trade agreement regime for pharmaceutical patents. It researches the laws under the headings of patentability, patent administration, generics to market (preparation for market and compulsory licensing), and trade in pharmaceuticals (parallel importation and compulsory licensing). Its interest lies with drug development and access to medicines. In addition to the reading of the legal texts, note is made of any empirical studies of the construction and operation of the laws.
