This book discusses the implications for the health of the world's poorest nations now that the full product patent requirements for medicines have come into force. An informed analysis is provided by internationally renowned contributors who look at the post-2005 world and discuss how action may be taken to ensure that intellectual property regimes are interpreted and implemented in a manner supportive to the right to protect public health and, in particular, to promote access to medicines for all.
