Does WTO`s Intellectual Property Protection Under TRIPS Jeopardize the Crucial ‘Right to Health’? Unravelling The Conundrum from The Perspective of Developing State Nations…
TRIPS Agreement, International Trade, Right to Health, Global Intellectual Property
This Research paper sheds light upon one of the most critical legal questions of contemporary debate viz-a-viz the most vocal criticism(s) of the WTO’s TRIPS agreement for its detrimental effect on the crucial ‘right to health’, specifically-the effect of patent rights on the cost of medicines. Unequivocally, this paper progresses onto an engrossing discussion imitating a ‘tug-of-war’ between the idea of “incentivizing R&D” on one side and, the protection of people across the world from life threatening diseases such as HIV, AIDS & Cancer. This paper concludes with proposing a foolproof suggestion for striking the right balance between rigidity and flexibility through respective Governments legal policies for compulsory patenting. Finally, this paper also incorporates case study analysis, for undertaking a pragmatic approach to this issue and, adding credibility to our proposition!
