5200 |a"This report estimates additional drug costs to Canadian consumers from changes to the Patent Law as negotiated under the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). A two-year certificate of supplementary protection (CSP; elsewhere termed patent restoration, and used synonymously here since CSP provides patent-like protection) will delay the introduction of generic alternatives, and likely keep prices higher than they otherwise would be. The report also estimates the fiscal cost to the federal government of compensating provinces for increased costs to provincial public drug programs”--Verso of cover.
