About the Book
The Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health that was adopted by the WTO (World Trade Organization) Ministerial Conference of 2001 reaffirmed the rights of Members to issue a compulsory license when negotiations for a reasonable price or a voluntary license to import or manufacture a patented product from the patent holder fail.
This book describes the experiences of a number of developing countries in exercising their rights to use compulsory licensing, especially a license for "government use". This is a form of compulsory license that is issued to obtain generic medicines for use in public hospitals and clinics, through imports or domestic production.
Copies of the actual compulsory licenses of the developing countries are included for reference.
