      abstract = {This portrait of the global debate over patent law and  access to essential medicines focuses on public health  concerns about HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, the SARS  virus, influenza, and diseases of poverty. The essays  explore the diplomatic negotiations and disputes in key  international fora, such as the World Trade Organization,  the World Health Organization and the World Intellectual  Property Organization. Drawing upon international trade  law, innovation policy, intellectual property law, health  law, human rights and philosophy, the authors seek to  canvass policy solutions which encourage and reward  worthwhile pharmaceutical innovation while ensuring  affordable access to advanced medicines. A number of  creative policy options are critically assessed, including  the development of a Health Impact Fund, prizes for medical  innovation, the use of patent pools, open-source drug  development and forms of 'creative capitalism'.},
