Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the limitation of the current TRIPS due to local protection and to seek for a balance between drug patent protection and public health.METHODS: The related clauses in TRIPS in terms of protection on drug patent and public health were introduced,and Nordhaus' model was used to analyze the conflict between drug patent protection and public health.RESULTS: The area with minimum level of drug patent protection can't be enlarged infinitely geographically.CONCLUSIONS: Preferential policies should be given to the developing countries to secure the public health while strengthening the drug patent protection gradually.
