Patents, Innovation and Access to New Pharmaceuticals
This paper considers the role of intellectual property rights in the development of and access to new pharmaceuticals. A number of studies have found patents are significantly more important to pharmaceutical firms in appropriating the benefits from innovation compared to other high tech industries. The reason for this is because the costs of drug innovation are very high while the costs of imi...
متن کاملPatents as a Spur to Subsequent Innovation? Evidence from Pharmaceuticals
This paper examines how an incumbent’s patent protection acts as an implicit subsidy toward non-infringing substitutes. I analyze whether classes of pharmaceuticals whose first entrant has a longer period of market exclusivity (time between approval and generic entry) see more subsequent entry. Instrumenting for exclusivity using plausibly exogenous delays in the development process, I find tha...
متن کاملSecondary patenting of branded pharmaceuticals: a case study of how patents on two HIV drugs could be extended for decades.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on patents to protect their intellectual property and often seek to extend market exclusivity for their products to maximize their return on investment. One method is by obtaining patents on features other than the original active drug ingredient, including secondary patents on alternate formulations of the drug or on methods of administration. This article exa...
متن کاملSoftware Patents after CLS Bank: US – China Comparison
The Software Freedom Law Center said that, in its opinion in CLS Bank v. Alice,1the Supreme Court “took one more step towards the abolition of patents on software inventions. Upholding its previous positions, the Court held that abstract ideas and algorithms are unpatentable. It also emphasized that one cannot patent ‘an instruction to apply [an] abstract idea . . . using some un-specified, gen...
متن کاملComputer storage and retrieval of generic chemical structures in patents. 9. An algorithm to find the extended set of smallest rings in structurally explicit generics
This paper reports how Zamora’s smallest set of smallest rings algorithm has been modified and extended to provide an algorithm that will find the extended set of smallest rings (ESSR) for specific and structurally explicit generic structures. Modifications are necessary to find the ESSR rings within a partial structure connection table, while extensions are required to perceive the ESSR rings ...
