...A “Calibrated Approach”: Pharmaceutical FDI and the Evolution of Indian Patent Law Web version: August 2007 Authors: Katherine Connor Linton and Nicholas Corrado1 Abstract India has charted its own intellectual property (IP) path over the last 35 years, attempting to foster the growth of a domestic pharmaceutical industry and access to medicine while, more recently, also addressing the requirements of the international IP regime. Multinational companies (MNCs) have responded to India’s movement towards compliance with the W TO intellectual property agreement, TRIPS, by increasing the quantity and quality of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the areas of pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) and manufacturing. By contrast, MNCs have adopted a more cautious attitude toward the patenting and commercialization of new pharmaceutical products in India, waiting to see how Indian courts and patent offices interpret the new laws, and awaiting the enactment of longdebated data protection legislation. The ultimate success of the Indian “calibrated approach” to fostering the domestic industry and access to medicine while also addressing international IP requirements remains to be seen. 1 Katherine Connor Linton (katherine.linton@usitc.gov) is the International Trade Analyst for Intellectual Property and Nicholas Corrado was a law student intern in the Office of Industries of the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC). The views expressed are those of Ms. Linton and...

...1) Pharmaceutical Industry in India: India is the third largest pharmaceutical market in the world in terms of volume. The market is believed to grow at a compound annual growth rage (CAGR) of 14-17 percent in between 2012-16. There has also been a considerable growth in the levels of pharmaceutical exports from India. The industry started picking momentum in the early 1960s, with government actively encouraging the sector with the Patents Act. However, the liberalization of 1991 enabled the industry to become what it is today. Many of the Indian companies principally observe reverse engineering of the new processes for manufacturing drugs at low costs. Although some of the companies have taken baby steps towards innovating newer drugs, the industry as a whole tends to follow this business model. The lack of patent protection, on the other hand, makes India undesirable for multinational companies that have dominated the market. So the pharmaceutical market in India has a tremendous potential for indigenousness. In this context, comparing a global pharmaceutical company with its Indian counterpart becomes evident. GlaxoSmithKline and Ranbaxy: A Comparison GlaxoSmithKline is a British multinational pharmaceutical company also dealing in biologics, vaccines and consumer healthcare. Headquartered at London, it is the world’s sixth largest pharmaceutical company. The company was established in 2000 by the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beckman Corporation. A giant...

This process is extensively used for restructuring the business organizations. In India, the concept of mergers and acquisitions was initiated by the government bodies. Some well known financial organizations also took the necessary initiatives to restructure the corporate sector of India by adopting the mergers and acquisitions policies. The Indian economic reform since 1991 has opened up a whole lot of challenges both in the domestic and international spheres. The increased competition in the global market has prompted the Indian companies to go for mergers and acquisitions as an important strategic choice. The trends of mergers and acquisitions in India have changed over the years. The immediate effects of the mergers and acquisitions have also been diverse across the various sectors of the Indian economy.

...Strategy Formulation & Implementation Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd 1. Summary: Indian pharmaceutical industry is estimated at $8 billion in 2013 and had been growing at an average rate of 8–9 %. The industry was highly fragmented with more than 1000 players out of which 30% of market was controlled by top ten companies and the rest of 70% by small companies. The Global pharmaceutical industry was estimated at $ 600 billion in 2013. Indian pharmaceutical industry has become more innovative and enterprising with more investment in R&D especially since the WTO agreement was signed. Indian drug makers command 10 per cent share in the USD 30 billion US generic drug market and also has the highest (over 150) US Foods & Drug Administration (FDA) approved facilities. US accounts for one-fourth of the Indian drug exports. The share of Indian pharma companies in the total approvals for generic drugs called Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) has risen steadily. From 32 per cent in 2009, it went up to 38.5 per cent in 2013. Increasing share of Indian companies in total ANDAs approved by the USFDA can be attributed to increase spending by them for research and development (R&D) activities. As per CMIE’s database, the industry’s R&D expenses to sales ratio jumped to around five per cent in 2012-13 from around three per cent in 2003-04.
