Policy Blueprints
To integrate more public voices, I-MAK brings diverse stakeholders together to discuss, debate, and recommend new paths to build a more just and equitable system. We create strategic Blueprints to inform policymakers and educate the public.
The proposed policies set out in this new blueprint are based on specifically addressing some of the root causes and strategies brand-name drugmakers use to build patent thickets under the current laws and procedures. It calls for sensible and long overdue reforms that will return integrity to the patent system by strengthening transparency, encouraging evidence-based policy, and raising the level of patent quality and inventiveness, all while strengthening competition and helping lower drug prices.
