| | March | | 9 Mar | | AHRC/SCRIPT Seminar | Is there a future for absolute product patent protection? Sven Bostyn Senior Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law, The Liverpool Law School, University of Liverpool It is generally assumed that absolute product protection is part and parcel of the current patent system. The patentability of genetic inventions has brought this principle into question. Is the principle of absolute product protection as absolute and untouchable as one may think at first glance? Is there a rationale for (not) having this principle and what may be the consequences of abandoning it for the patent system as a whole? 9 March 2012 18:00 - Lecture Theatre 183, Old College |
| | 13 Mar | | AHRC/SCRIPT Seminar | The Doha Declaration + 10: Reflections on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health from a Human Rights Perspective Duncan Matthews Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary, University of London Access to medicines is a human right. When the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) was adopted in 1994, it changed dramatically the international landscape with regard to access to medicines and human rights.
