Effects of Intellectual Property Rights Protection on Access to Medicines in Subsaharan Africa
Nemkyová, Renata ; Šaroch, Stanislav (advisor) ; Bič, Josef (referee)
The aim of the text is to defend a thesis: "A uniform and strict regime of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection for all member states of the World Trade Organization harms the less developed ones." The text also pursues the problems strong protection of IPR can cause to developing countries in the area of access to pharmaceutical products. It also evaluates the effects of public health safeguards provided in the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. The first chapter is based on theoretical grounds and it describes the relation between IPR, economics and law. The second chapter defines the international framework for IPR protection and the relation between IPR and developing countries. The third chapter provides information on what to avoid when creating IPR legislation and what to focus on. The final part constitutes of a case study. The subject of the case study is Nigeria and the aim is to characterize current developments in access to antiretrovirals (drugs used to fight HIV/AIDS), to describe the system of patent protection in this country and to outline possible solutions that would lead to improvement in procurement of HIV/AIDS treatment.
