Compulsory licensing of pharmaceuticals : a review of Section 41 of the Patent Act.: RG15-2/1983E-PDF ; RG15-2/1983-PDF

"This paper reviews the effect of the 1969 Patent Act revisions on the drug industry in Canada. It analyzes how these changes have affected the activities of the pharmaceutical industry, the prices of prescription drugs and the current investment climate in Canada. It also considers, in line with government policy to stimulate high technology industry, a number of possible changes to the Patent Act that may improve the investment climate for major pharmaceutical firms while assuring a continued supply of reasonably priced drugs for Canadians"--Introduction, page 1.
