A multitude of factors affect the ability of South Africans to access the essential medicines, intellectual property (IP) is one of them. This dissertation considers some of opportunities open to South Africa through international IP flexibilities, which are aimed at safeguarding public health rights against the sometimes access-restricting effects of patent right monopolies. Potential pitfalls are also highlighted, noting strategies for South Africa to avoid the worst of them. The paper begins by giving an overview of the way in which patents affect access to medicines, and contending that the time for making the proposed amendments is now. 2015-09-14T08:36:34Z 2015-09-14T08:36:34Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters LLM http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13874 eng application/pdf Intellectual Property Research Unit Faculty of Law University of Cape Town |
