چکیده
Individuals and companies file patent applications for a variety of reasons. Decisions as to which technological developments merit patent protection, the territories in which patent protection is sought, and the point in time at which a patent application is filed can be driven by many factors, including cost, legal considerations, the extent of supporting experimental data available, and above all the commercial objectives for the technology. This Briefing aims to provide an overview of some of the issues that may inform such decision steps in the pharmaceutical field. We also look at some specific legal considerations that can arise in the emerging markets of India and China.
