Patent Linkage

Is China implementing a new linkage system as a result of the Phase 1 Agreement?

How is the new linkage system different from the prior voluntary system?

Jonathan Miao, Senior Partner, NTD Patent & Trademark Agency Limited, China

Has China implemented an orange book type system to identify approved pharmaceuticals which have patent protection?

Is it working to deter Chinese regulatory approval of infringing pharmaceuticals?

Benjamin Hsing, Partner, McguireWoods LLP

The Phase I Agreement does not provide a system of “artificial infringement” for linkage.  Can and should China implement a linkage system without “artificial infringement”?
