Thailand Scraps Patent Override on Cancer Drug With Novartis
February 02, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Drug News
Activists have hailed Thailand's drive for copycat drugs as a "beacon" for other developing nations seeking to provide treatments to the poor.
But pharmaceutical giants have derided it as an infringement on their intellectual property rights, warning that lost profits would make it harder to finance research for medical innovations.
A Bangkok office for Novartis could not be reached for comment.
