▪  India will not allow evergreening of patents: Goyal

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said India will not allow "evergreening" of patents.

He said that India has a robust intellectual property rights (IPR) chapter in both the free trade agreements with the UK and the four-nation block EFTA.

"We will not allow any ever greening", and despite that "we still have a robust IPR chapter with two of the toughest countries of the world in IPR - Switzerland and the UK", he told reporters here.

Section 3(d) of the Indian Patents Act, 1970, restricts patents for already-known drugs unless the new claims are superior in terms of efficacy, while Section 3(b) bars patents for products that are against public interest and do not demonstrate enhanced efficacy over existing products.

Certain multinational firms have asked India to amend these laws, which were strongly opposed.
