| Summary: |
Daily, numerous shipments of generic medicines, identical to other patented and protected
drugs in a few states, go through international
borders towards developing countries. In some
occasions, these medicines are seized under
the argument that they are bridging intellectual
property rights in the country of transit and that
they are not in compliance with its rigorous laws
of protection. Given the seizure of drugs that
guarantee the survival of thousands of people,
the doubt about the legality of this kind of procedures emerges for researchers. This is why
this thesis analyses that legality, in the light of
certain International economic law instruments
such as the wto treaties and therefore resolves
a law discussion with implications in the life and
welfare of developing countries citizens, almost
three quarters of the entire world’s population. |
