Abstract

China’s pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a period of high growth, in which global stakeholders have played an important role. The WTO framework has opened up new opportunities and challenges for the stakeholders in this sector. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the WTO and Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS) rules related to the pharmaceutical industry as a whole; the WTO’s challenges to the regulatory and legal system in China, especially surrounding the patents issue, pharmaceutical quality control, price control, and the potential of Chinese herbal medicines; and the WTO’s overall impact on the development of indigenous pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
