| Summary |
Die Entwicklung neuer Medikamente und deren Verbesserungen sind entscheidend, um deutliche Fortschritte in der Gesundheitsversorgung zu gewährleisten. Der Entwicklungsprozess ist lang und teuer, insbesondere der Aufwand, der betrieben werden muss, um den hohen Regulierungsanforderungen gerecht zu werden. Im Gegensatz dazu verursacht die Nachahmung von Medikamenten vernachlässigbare Kosten und birgt deutlich weniger Risiken. Dies ist einer der Gründe, warum der Patentschutz für die die pharmazeutische Industrie von so großer Bedeutung ist. Trotz des bestehenden Patentsystems i. |
