Panel title
Waiver for Covid Patents: Bleak future for biopharma industry?
Panel summary
The U.S., EU, India, and South Africa have reached an agreement on “key elements” of an IP waiver for COVID-19 vaccines that needs to be finalized and approved by WTO members.
What are the consequences of this IP expropriation for biopharma industry and for new medicines the world needs? What must be improved to prevent irrational fixation on weakening IP that is distracting from the real challenges that need to be overcome to provide access to new medicines to all?
