Protection du brevet et promotion de la santé publique selon les accords de libre échange états-uniens : surenchères autour des standards minimums de l'AADPIC au Sud.
In a context featured by a sensitive strengthening of intellectual property rights (IPRs) in the world, this paper depicts the main vectors of this trend and questions its influence on the promotion of public health in the South. Precisely, it states that the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement and USA Free-Trade Agreements both institute global and constraining IPRs regimes whose local effects may damage the access of people to essential drugs in the South. These agreements may help to extend the monopolistic positions hold by Northern multinationals, to hinder generic competition and to undermine medicines' accessibility in developing countries. Both legal and empirical evidences are presented to confirm this contention.
