Examines one of the controversial aspects of the world trading system: patents and access to medication. This book looks at the claim that international trade law imposes rules that result in exclusive rights of pharmaceutical companies and high prices of medication, preventing access to medication for diseases such as AIDS, anthrax, or bird flu.
