Law

Patent rights on pharmaceutical products are one of the factors responsible for the lack of access to affordable medicines in developing countries. In this work, Emmanuel Kolawole Oke provides a systematic analysis of the tension between patent rights and human rights law, contending that, in order to preserve their patent policy space and secure access to affordable medicines for their citizens, developing countries should incorporate a model of human rights into the design, implementation, interpretation, and enforcement of their national patent laws. Through a comprehensive analysis of court decisions from three key developing countries (India, Kenya, and South Africa), Oke assesses the effectiveness of national courts in resolving conflicts between patent rights and the right to health, and demonstrates how a model of human rights can be incorporated into the adjudication of patent rights.

Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Aufarbeitung des BGH-Urteils zum ¿Göttinger Organspende-Fall" (BGH 5 StR 20/16). Ausgangspunkt ist das dort scheinbar weiterentwickelte Verständnis des dolus eventualis, sowie dessen Konsequenzen. Die Autorin beleuchtet im objektiven Tatbestand als Bezugspunkt des Vorsatzes die Besonderheiten der Quasi-Kausalität, die die Jurisprudenz im Bereich des TPG vor besondere Herausforderungen stellen. Die viel diskutierte und oftmals auch ungerechtfertigter Kritik ausgesetzte Richtlinien-Arbeit der BÄK wird betrachtet und dabei das Spannungsfeld zwischen ärztlichem Interesse und rechtlicher Perspektive, insbesondere der Balance unterschiedlicher Rechtsgüter von Verfassungsrang, aufgezeigt. Die Autorin kommt zu dem Schluss, dass der 5. Senat mit der Lösung über den Vorsatz ¿ bewusst oder unbewusst ¿ eine Positionierung zu Fragen des Transplantationsrechts womöglich auch vor dem Hintergrund einer nicht einstimmigen Entscheidung umgangen hat.
