Each has particular implications for drug patenting, and reflects an interpretive conception of law and legal legitimacy as requiring the application of legislation in accordance with moral values, including those expressed in constitutional instruments. If adopted, the proposals would: restrict the patentability of second medical indications and anchor assessments of inventive step more firmly to patent policy; expand assessments of the moral and public policy implications of patenting inventions and extend the disclosure duties of applicants; and adapt the FRAND licensing system to cover essential medical technologies. 000042104 525__ $$aPublished in : European Intellectual Property Review 000042104 605_0 $$aPatents 000042104 650__ $$aInventive step 000042104 650_0 $$aFRAND licensing 000042104 650_0 $$aEssential medicines 000042104 650_0 $$aMorality 000042104 650_0 $$aPublic policy 000042104 650_0 $$aCOVID-19 000042104 650_0 $$aDrug patenting 000042104 85641 $$uhttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3627384$$yView this resource 000042104 904__ $$aJournal article 000042104 980__ $$aBIB
