India’s response, which represents an alternative model of confirming to the TRIPS Agreement, has seen stiff resistance in the form of counter-provisions in Free Trade Agreements entered by the US and other countries. Historically, patent systems based on neo-liberalism, like the American model, favour individual pursuits whereas patent systems based on social democracy, like the Indian model, focus on community goals. This distinction manifests in the manner in which the role of the public is defined in the patent system. India’s model is characterized by the emphasis on the public elements in three significant ways. First, in redefining pre-grant opposition by allowing public participation in questioning the ex ante validity of patents. Second, in protecting the public domain by heightening the standard of patentability and requiring the patent applicant to demonstrate technical advance and greater effectiveness of the invention. Third, in providing for compulsory licensing when the public interest is affected by a patent that is not worked locally. The influence of the India’s model has come from mimicry by other countries in following the Indian example. Countries like Argentina, Philippines, Brazil, China, and South Africa have either emulated or strongly favour following India’s path. Such state practices might occasion the reimagination of the TRIPS Agreement as the Access Regime. 000048110 588__ $$aOnline resource 000048110 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation. 000048110 650_0 $$aDrugs. 000048110 650_0 $$aDrugs$$xPatents. 000048110 650_4 $$aDrugs$$xPatents$$zIndia 000048110 650_4 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$zIndia 000048110 650_4 $$aMedical care, Cost of$$xLaw and legislation$$zIndia 000048110 650_0 $$aPatents$$zIndia.. 000048110 650_0 $$aIntellectual property$$zIndia.. 000048110 651_0 $$aIndia. 000048110 7001_ $$aAli, Feroz,$$eauthor. 000048110 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199463480.001.0001$$yView eBook 000048110 903__ $$aOxford Academic 000048110 980__ $$aOS
