Začasna oprostitev obveznosti po Sporazumu TRIPS kot ukrep boja proti pandemiji

Abstract

Sporazum TRIPS je bil pomembno gonilo standardizacije pravne zaščite farmacevtskih izdelkov s pravicami intelektualne lastnine na svetovni ravni. Za primere izrednih razmer, ko mora javni interes prevladati nad zasebnimi pravicami, predvideva uporabo prisilne licence, ki se podeli za vsako državo posebej. Pandemija covida-19 je po celem svetu hkrati povzročila potrebo po pospešitvi proizvodnje in distribucije patentiranih cepiv, zdravil in medicinske opreme. V okviru STO se zato obravnava predlog, da bi v svetovni zdravstveni krizi vse države začasno oprostili obveznosti spoštovanja pravic intelektualne lastnine iz Sporazuma TRIPS in tako z enkratnim ukrepom odpravili pravne ovire za pravičen dostop do cepiv in zdravil po svetu. Prispevek predstavlja ukrepe za varstvo javnega zdravja v skladu s Sporazumom TRIPS in njihove pomanjkljivosti ter analizira, kako bi v domačem pravu učinkovala predlagana oprostitev obveznosti varovanja pravic intelektualne lastnine.

Secondary title:	Temporary waiver of TRIPS obligations as a measure against the pandemic
Secondary abstract:	TRIPS Agreement has been an important driver of the global standardisation of legal protection of pharmaceuticals with intellectual property rights. For the cases of emergency, where the public interest must prevail over private rights, the Agreement provides for the use of compulsory licensing granted on a country-by-country basis. The Covid-19 pandemic created the need to accelerate the production and distribution of patented vaccines, medicines, and medical equipment simultaneously all around the world. The WTO is therefore considering a proposal to temporarily exempt all member states from the obligation to respect intellectual property rights under the TRIPS Agreement in the wake of the global health crisis in order to remove legal barriers to fair access to vaccines and medicines worldwide. The paper presents measures for the protection of public health under the TRIPS Agreement, as well as their shortcomings, and analyses how the proposed waiver of intellectual property rights would operate in domestic law.
