Book excerpt: Intellectual Property and Health Technologies Balancing Innovation and the Public's Health Joanna T. Brougher, Esq., MPH At first glance, ownership of intellectual property seems straightforward: the control over an invention or idea. But with the recent explosion of new scientific discoveries poised to transform public health and healthcare systems, costly and lengthy patent disputes threaten both to undermine the attempts to develop new medical technologies and to keep potentially life-saving treatments from patients who need them. Intellectual Property and Health Technologies grounds readers in patent law and explores how scientific research and enterprise are evolving in response. Geared specifically to the medical disciplines, it differentiates among forms of legal protection for inventors such as copyrights and patents, explains their limits, and argues for balance between competing forces of exclusivity and availability. Chapters delve into the major legal controversies concerning medical and biotechnologies in terms of pricing, markets, and especially the tension between innovation and access, including: The patent-eligibility of genes The patent-eligibility of medical process patents The rights and roles of universities and inventors The balancing of access, innovation, and profit in drug development The tension between biologics, small-molecule drugs, and their generic counterparts International patent law and access to medicine in the developing world As these issues continue to shape and define the debate, Intellectual Property and Health Technologies enables professionals and graduate students in public health, health policy, healthcare administration, and medicine to understand patent law and how it affects the development of medical technology and the delivery of medicine.

Book excerpt: Over the past years we have witnessed patents related to in vitro diagnostic methods, as well as patents on human genes. Although patents on diagnostics and patents on human genes are not novel, patents on genes for diagnostics are a rather unseen combination. The grant by the European Patent Organisation (EPO) of patents covering the breast cancer gene (BRCA), its mutations, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic applications based on the gene's sequence, evoked strong reactions and led to the questioning of the nature, legitimacy and scope of gene patents and diagnostic methods instrumental to public health. Although various of the initially granted breast cancer patents have been revoked or restricted, the discussion lingers on, as no final decision is available on the exact scope of the patents as yet. So, recent events have put the delicate relationship between patents and medicine to the test again. The present paper provides an in-depth introduction to the book 'Gene Patents and Public Health', and examines and discusses the delicate balance between patents and medicine, and more in particular to the relationship between diagnostic gene patents and health care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Ethics, grade: B, The George Washington University, 7 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This paper proposes to ban patents on human genes. The patent system protects the investment of researchers by allowing them to own genes they discover. This, however, results in a lot of ethical problems such as impeding innovations and potential research, disadvantaging low-income consumers, and owning a naturally-existing part rather than a creation. In spite of various objections to those issues, the arguments will be defended with logic and evidence. The paper concludes the arguments with final thoughts about gene patenting and its drawbacks.

This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The patenting and licensing of human genetic material and proteins represents an extension of intellectual property (IP) rights to naturally occurring biological material and scientific information, much of it well upstream of drugs and other disease therapies. This report concludes that IP restrictions rarely impose significant burdens on biomedical research, but there are reasons to be apprehensive about their future impact on scientific advances in this area. The report recommends 13 actions that policy-makers, courts, universities, and health and patent officials should take to prevent the increasingly complex web of IP protections from getting in the way of potential breakthroughs in genomic and proteomic research. It endorses the National Institutes of Health guidelines for technology licensing, data sharing, and research material exchanges and says that oversight of compliance should be strengthened. It recommends enactment of a statutory exception from infringement liability for research on a patented invention and raising the bar somewhat to qualify for a patent on upstream research discoveries in biotechnology. With respect to genetic diagnostic tests to detect patient mutations associated with certain diseases, the report urges patent holders to allow others to perform the tests for purposes of verifying the results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now is an important time in human history. Viral outbreaks threaten lives and make headlines. We see new diseases appear and spread across the planet. We map our genetic code. And we now share the planet with lifeforms of our own creation. A global communication system keeps us informed. But a global system of trade agreements plays a very important role we do not hear so much about. These trade agreements govern, among other things, patent protection for intellectual property. When a nation accepts a trade agreement treating medicines as intellectual property, it can find itself ill-equipped to confront public health crises like outbreaks of viruses and disease. Genetic material, too, can become protected intellectual property, although the courts of different nations disagree on just what material and how protected it might be. Once the subject of futuristic science fiction novels, the commodification and ownership of human genetic material has become our reality in the 21st century. The two essays in this booklet address the ethical concerns as well as the practical, administrative realities for the offices and courts where governments make decisions that affect all of us; our health, our genetic code, and our future.

Book excerpt: This special issue of Community Genetics addresses human gene patenting. Patenting human genes has been controversial since day one, with proponents asserting that patents are necessary to promote investment in the development of therapies and cures, and with opponents arguing that gene patents are immoral and unethical. This publication contains papers written by scientists, lawyers, social scientists and policy analysts, representing a broad-range perspective on the benefits and burdens of gene patenting. While some data have accumulated as the corpus of gene patents has expanded, the papers show that the underlying questions about consequences, both pro and con, remain unanswered. These issues first came to a head more than a dozen years ago when the US National Institutes of Health filed patent applications on thousands of gene fragments called Expressed Sequence Tags, and they have spread to other developed countries. Providing a balanced, international overview of gene patenting practices and experiences, this publication will be of interest to scientists, lawyers, policy analysts and others who are interested in biotechnology, intellectual property, innovation and genetic medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 4 December 2002 the Australian Government announced that it would ask the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) to conduct an Inquiry into intellectual property issues raised by genetic information. The Terms of Reference required the ALRC to examine the impact of patent laws and practices as they relate to 'genes and genetic and related technologies.' This was to be done in three contexts: the conduct of research and its subsequent application and commercialisation; the Australian biotechnology sector; and the cost-effective provision of healthcare. The ALRC was also asked to report on what changes may be required to address any problems that were identified in current laws and practices 'with the aim of encouraging the creation and use of intellectual property to further the health and economic benefits of genetic research and genetic and related technologies.' In making its Inquiry, the ALRC was also to have regard to a number of considerations including: the role of intellectual property rights in promoting technological innovation; the potential for human genetics to improve the quality of life of all Australians; the ethical, legal and social issues arising from intellectual property in genes and genetic technologies; the national interest in using genetic technologies in agriculture and industry; trade and investment issues affecting intellecutal property; and international obligations and practices, both existing and proposed.

Book excerpt: Millions of people around the world do not have access to the medicines they need to treat disease or alleviate suffering. Strict patent regimes introduced following the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995 interfere with widespread access to medicines by creating monopolies that keep medicines prices well out of reach for many. 0The AIDS crisis in the late nineties brought access to medicines challenges to the public?s attention, when millions of people in developing countries died from an illness for which medicines existed, but were not available or affordable. Faced with an unprecedented health crisis ? 8,000 people dying daily ? the public health community launched an unprecedented global effort that eventually resulted in the large-scale availability of low-priced generic HIV medicines. 0But now, high prices of new medicines - for example, for cancer, tuberculosis and hepatitis C - are limiting access to treatment in low-, middle and high-income countries alike. Patent-based monopolies affect almost all medicines developed since 1995 in most countries, and global health policy is now at a critical juncture if the world is to avoid new access to medicines crises. 0This book discusses lessons learned from the HIV/AIDS crisis, and asks whether actions taken to extend access and save lives are exclusive to HIV or can be applied more broadly to new global access challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is difficult to think of an example of an advancement in the biological sciences that has had an impact on society similar to that of the new genetics. Recent developments in biotechnology have occasioned much discussion among academics, professionals, and lay people alike. In particular, many questions and concerns have arisen over the acquisi tion, access, and control of genetic information. There are several reasons why the new genetics has commanded such widespread attention, and why it is now the subject of con siderable debate. Special reference is given in this volume to the implications of genetic information for five different subject areas: eugenics, the insurance industry, the commer cialisation of genetic testing, strategies for raising public awareness, and the value of theo retical ethical and sociological frameworks in the debate. This diverse collection of papers attempts to address and critically discuss issues surrounding the control of, and access to, genetic information from ethical, medical, legal, and theoretical points of view. The first and shortest section of the book attempts to address concerns over the eugenic potential of new biotechnologies. It also provides a historical context for the de bate, for controversy over the subject of eugenics predates the current debate over genetic information by a considerable length of time. Indeed, by the time the first patent was is sued for Chakrabarty's strain of oil eating bacteria in the early 1970s, the term eugenics had already acquired strong pejorative connotations.

This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 811 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public–private partnerships (PPPs) play an increasingly prominent role in addressing global development challenges. United Nations agencies and other organizations are relying on PPPs to improve global health, facilitate access to scientific information, and encourage the diffusion of climate change technologies. For this reason, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights their centrality in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the same time, the intellectual property dimensions and implications of these efforts remain under-examined. Through selective case studies, this illuminating work contributes to a better understanding of the relationships between PPPs and intellectual property considered within a global knowledge governance framework, that includes innovation, capacity-building, technological learning, and diffusion. Linking global governance of knowledge via intellectual property to the SDGs, this is the first book to chart the activities of PPPs at this important nexus.
