Future directions: testable hypotheses and evolution toward global pharmaceutical linkage*
Abstract:
This chapter wraps up the book by proposing a series of testable hypotheses based on findings up to this point and reviews the global evolution of pharmaceutical linkage. A cluster-based theory of drug development is developed based on our empirical observations gauged against loopholes in linkage laws that allow for the clustering of numerous drug products and related patents over time. The chapter ends with a description of the author’s participation in a global study of pharmaceutical linkage. A major goal of this work is to investigate the structural and functional aspects of different systems of pharmaceutical linkage in different jurisdictions, ...
