Intellectual Property and the Right to Health
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the subject of the various relations existing between intellectual property and the right to health. Reference will be made, within the industrial property system, especially to patents, as a crucial instrument in the development of the pharmaceutical industry, which in turn has afforded the world’s population greater and better access to health systems. Clearly therefore, it is by no means frivolous to suggest that industrial property protection systems, by means of patents in this case, have managed to make a profound contribution to the development and improvement of the health of the general public throughout the world, by creating a situation in which the right to health, as a first-generation human right, namely one of those relating to the individual, becomes a reality.
