Clinical Trials - Patent Laws |

The government of India passed a Patent Law in 1970, recognizing only patents on processes and not products , thus enabling pharmaceutical companies to use alternative methods to produce cheap " generic " copies of drugs patented by other Multinational Pharmaceutical companies . This however resulted in losses of over $500 million for big multinational companies. After joining with the World Trade Organization in 1995 India made changes in its patent law again and brought it in line with International laws in January 2005. This new bill recognizes both product and process patents.According to the law India will also offer 10-year tax concessions on revenue to companies making Research & Development (R& D) investments in India . These incentives are envisaged to cause a substantial boost and increase in R&D activities of both Multinational and Indian Pharmaceutical companies. |

Posted on: 07/17/2010 Hi everyone. I need some guidance from all Clinical Research experts. I want to pursue a course : "Masters in Clinical Research : MSCR" offered by ICRI-MUSC. It is a 2 year course, 1st year course by ICRI Global Research and 2nd year course by Medical University of South Carolina. Is this a genuine course or some sort of gamble? Please give your valuable guidance. I have completed my MSc in Biochemistry this year in India.

Posted on: 10/09/2009 There is a need of good clinical researcher professionals as India is going to be major hub of clinical trial industry. This can be achieved by educating medical professionals, researchers and graduates on Good Clinical Practice, Ethical conduct of the trial, discouraging fabrication of data and following timelines.

Posted on: 08/02/2009 Good Morning! I am Dr. Harshit Mehta working as an associated project manager at Pro Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. a full service CRO based in Delhi. I would like to mention here is that with the amount of work increasing in clinical research in india, we would definitely require more qualified and competent professional for this field. It will become mandatory to do a degree or a certified course in clinical research in future. So people who want to pursue their career in clinical research, start looking for reliable institute and courses to enhance your capabilities.

Posted on: 06/01/2009 There is a dire need for a vast majority of doctors in every stream of medicine to acquire specialised knowledge about clinical research in order to help the pharma industry discover newer drugs and bring them into the market to manage health of the people. Anovus Institute of Clinical Resarch in Chandigarh is the newest addition, north of Delhi, to start certification programme for the working physicians to acquire skill and knowledge in clinical research while graduates from life sciences can opt for six month or one year diploma programme. |
