Patent or Perish : Is the Indian Pharmaceutical Sector Geared up for the New Stronger Patenting Regime ?

چکیده
The Uruguay Round of Trade Negotiations in April 1994 and the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in January 1995, raised many questions regarding India’s participation in the world trade, its integration with the world economy and the likely costs and benefits from this integration. In the light of this, the present paper tries to access India’s patenting activities in relation with many developed countries and China, a new emerging economy. It also tries to analyze the growth rates of Patenting in preTrade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS)period and Post-TRIPS period. Assessing R&D Investment in pre-TRIPS period and PostTRIPS period is also a must to visualize the changing scenario. All this helps in providing a picture that is Indian economy geared up for the new stronger patenting regime.
