Can't the west receive patent fees?

Indian pharmaceutical technology is not advanced. But that doesn't mean you can't produce a specific drug, because as long as you know the ingredients of the drug. Can be copied. To put it simply, although India does not have enough pharmaceutical technology to innovate, it has basic pharmaceutical technology to replicate, that is, production? Fake drugs? . The high-efficiency drugs copied in India are not only almost as effective as genuine drugs, but also very cheap.

Why the specific drugs produced in developed countries are expensive is mainly because of patent fees, while the generic drugs produced in India are pirated, so it is impossible to collect patent fees, and the price is naturally not high. Indian sage Gandhi once said: A better world order in my heart is that medical discoveries should no longer be patented, and human beings should stop using life and death to make profits. ?

Gandhi's words are very emotional and have a great influence on India's drug patent law. In the last century, India promulgated a special law on drug patents. According to the law, drug patents are only technical patents, that is to say, as long as the same pharmaceutical methods are not used, even if the drugs have the same ingredients and the same curative effect, they are not infringement. India is justified by this law, but it is precisely because of this law that many Indians can afford life-saving drugs.

Of course, India's doing this will definitely trigger the interests of western countries, and western countries have been protesting. After a long struggle, India also began to compromise with the West and banned the production of generic drugs, which was finally decided by the legal situation in 2005. In the play "You can't live without dying", the hero can buy generic drugs in the early stage, but later he went to India only to find that the drug factory owner no longer produces generic drugs. The reason is that new laws have been introduced, because the Indian government cannot withstand the threat from western countries.

However, generic drugs are not extinct in India, and there are still places where fake drugs are produced, because there is no way, real drugs are too expensive, and people are willing to eat fake drugs. With this situation, naturally some people are willing to take risks and continue to produce generic drugs. But the governments in some parts of India still turn a blind eye to this, because this medicine is about life, but it is actually about the choice between love and law.
