India reject gilead hepatitis c drug patent from US base science Gilead drug company

[agamdilawari]

Indian courts in past have clearly mentioned in their similar verdicts earlier that they won't allow such practices as far as healthcare goes bcz saving lives and proper treatment shouldn't be limited to ultra-rich and rightly so. To hell with those companies, in India play by our rules or one could just buzz off !!

 

[Screambowl]

Indians backstabbed USA after speaking kind words. Nobody is surprised. Now USA will give India another humiliation like 1971.

these are small issues..

Patent violation by India drug industry, just because India couldn't afford the drug from the US, India can't just stole from the US to produce the generic drug to sell to the Indian. I thought India high court protect the copyright law. They should force India to pay the patent fee to the US drug compay.

Shameless people

What a jackass you are Do you know what your country "Angola" imports from India ? Take a look noob. Your skinny *** will be dead as rat shit if India wont supply cheap medicine to not only Angola but the rest of Africa. You should be thankful for the courage of India that we stand against this BS.

India drug company didn't spend a penny in on the drug research, stop your bullshit about India do the world a favorite by stole the patent from the US company to lower the price of the India generic drug to sell to the 3rd world nation, India didn't spend 100 of millions dollars in search for the drug therefore India still rack in 100 of millions dollar profit at the knock off price. Since India didn't invest in the drug any sell from the drug already 100 percent profit. Stop acting like a Robbin hood stole from the rich to help the poor. A thief is a thief whether a thief commit a crime for a noble cause. Similar to say China sell cheaper copy to benefit consumer.

Shameless people

India never stole anything in this instance, it was the patent office in india that rejected a claim , hire a better lawyer
Shameless people ??? Because they dont bow to the us , i applaud india for taking a stand
Us patents office is

A law should never be partial or bias, when a court enforce any patent law the court should apply to all on the equal basis, can just pick and choose to which patent product India court to decide to enforce. A farce justice system pick and choose to be impartial to benefit it own people.






No just because a drug too expensive for the Indian to pay for, India can't just stole the patent from other nation to provide the drug treatment for the Indian. India court force other country to pay the copyright fee if a copy product sale in India.

India has never and probably will not reject a patent for a new drug. It has only stopped the drug companies from taking advantage by a process called evergreening. Go read about it.
And in the previous patent cases like that of cancer medicine Glivec, the SC court decision was hailed by most including the scientist involved in the creation of the medication.
Again go read about evergreening, just because India is involved you should not try to twist a story about the positive side of India to a negative story.

There no twisted positive to a negative case against India, this is the case India violate the patent right to reengineer the generic drug to sell in a lower price. What scientist hail the court decision to allow India to manufacture the generic drug for the poor patient in the 3rd world nation affordable healthcare, still the process violated the copyright law which India high court enforce the copyright law pertaining to other product. India court can't just pick and choose with product to rule on the copyright law.

The issue is applying for new patent rights on current drugs where the drug in used today is shown as the active ingredient of a new drug ( it is essentially the same drug but packaged differently ).

There is no innovation here, but just clever moves to hold onto the patent and stop generics from entering the market.

Lets see if you ever suffer from hepatitis which medicine u would prefer 1000 dollars a tab or generic one costing hundred times lower. Human lives should be above profits for these companies, company should have priced the drug right in the first place.

There was no violation idiot. And the scientist did not hail the decision because it was good for 3rd world nations but because it was just plain evergreening. An advanced panel sat and came to the decision that the '"minor changes in the molecule" did not improve efficacy of the drug.' and so the patent would not be reviewed. Courts in many countries have come under fire for allowing this evergreening due do the funding and pressure by big pharma company.
If you still do not understand then read this example.
The idea of a patent is to help the company which invested millions on a research to take advantage of their research by having a monopoly for a limited period of time. But after that period of time it becomes an open market. What these pharma companies does is that they file for a renewal of their patent just before they expire claiming that they have changed the formula and increased the efficacy of the drug. This way the pharma companies keep on making unfair profits. This process is called evergreening. Do you think evergreening is fair?

This is not even a case of fair pricing. This is a case of company trying to find loopholes to RENEW their expiring patent.

Well I can clearly see that you have no clue what you are talking about. Go read more about patents and how these pharam companies in US and EU manipulate the system.
