Chapter 9 in Impact of TRIPS in India, 2010, pp 175-200 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter joins the global debate on the social and economic impact of raising the protection of IPRs in developing countries under the TRIPS agreement. More specifically, the purpose of this chapter is to examine the appropriateness of applying the harmonised regime of intellectual property rights under the TRIPS agreement. The focus of this discussion is only on the protection of pharmaceutical product patents, because this form of patent protection has the greatest impact on access to medicines.
