Are you a U.S. innovator in the pharmaceutical field looking to safeguard your inventions in China? The Chinese patent linkage system might be the key to protecting your interests and ensuring market exclusivity for your drugs. This system aligns drug regulatory approval with patent dispute resolutions, meaning that if you have a patent on a pharmaceutical product or process in China, competitors seeking drug approval for similar products must navigate through the patent’s protective measures before entering the market.
Here’s what this means for you:
- Market Exclusivity: If you have a patent in China, the patent linkage system can prevent others from marketing generic versions of your drug without your permission, ensuring market exclusivity until the patent expires.
- Early Resolution of Disputes: It allows for potential disputes to be resolved before the infringing product gets market approval, which can save time and resources compared to litigations post-market entry.
- Strategic Patent Filings: This system encourages strategic patent filings, including not only the active ingredient but also covering various aspects of your drug, like formulations, use, and methods of manufacturing, to create a robust protective net.
