Patents Cannot Be Blamed for Inequitable Access to COVID-19 Vaccines
In view of the inequitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, several initiatives have been discussed to waive respective patent rights. This article provides a fact-based multinational study on patent rights protecting BioNTech-Pfizer's vaccine BNT162b2. We conclude that although there actually is a vaccine shortage in many countries, patents cannot be blamed as the scapegoat for said situation.
期刊介绍:
The leading authoritative journal since 1982 devoted to the evolving body of law and government regulation concerning biotechnology, particularly in the industries in which new products from these technologies are developing the most rapidly: pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agriculture, food processing, energy, mineral recovery, and waste treatment. All legal aspects are rapidly reported, and critical and often hard-to-obtain documents are reproduced.
