In this article — "The impact of stronger drug dosing patents on Canadian drug access" — we discuss the importance of an effective balance between patent enforceability and timely access to affordable generic drugs if prescription drug costs are to be better managed. Recent jurisprudence suggests this balance may be shifting away from affordable alternatives. Further developments on this front are expected in the coming year.
