Description
Summary:New drug discovery is a complex process involving the inputs of many branches of science like, physical and organic chemistry, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, computational chemistry, and so on and so forth. According to this Act "Product Patenting" was not tenable as this Act recognized only the "Process Patenting." Unfortunately, this legislation which catalyzed the growth of pharmaceutical industry and provided medicines at affordable rates to the poor people, proved to be a big stumbling block in the new drug discovery process for the nascent pharmaceutical industry.
