| Summary: |
The health crisis resulting from COVID-19 has
highlighted the need to implement social cooperation
mechanisms in the health (and, especially, pharmaceutical) field if we are to quickly overcome situations such
as the one we have experienced since January 2020.
In this paper we intend to reflect on the usefulness
of the notion of the social function of property applied
to the field of vaccine patents, taking as a starting
point the events suffered by the entire population in
the last almost two years, the current (and cumbersome) mechanisms of the TRIPS Agreements to address
the medicine needs of certain States and the request
led by India and South Africa for exemption from the
application of certain parts of these Agreements for the
duration of the health crisis situation and in order to
promote mass vaccination of the population. |
