I am an indian scientist living abroad. I was so happy and proud when Supreme court ruled against western patent laws. Indian generic drugs give hope and life for millions in developing world
tony thomas come back to India :)
Please come back, you could make same amount here as well.
Come back to India man
Those who are asking to come this scientist back, look guys even if he will come back he won't have the same level of impact as he would have in America.. The reason being simple we don't have huge funds for research..
tony thomas this was so stupid to me most Indians would not be able to buy it they would have nothing to gain
I am a Pakistani and i have much respect for the Generic medicine India's Produce. Living is everyone right in this world not for few elites.
very true !
Syed Javed Iqbal Shah Yes bro everyone in the world should get basic necessities like medicine .
my eye got wet, thinking if generic drug stop what would happen of poor.
Syed Javed Iqbal Shah true brother!
@Raj Singh that's not his fault. He is just trying to appreciate. Do u have problem with that too?
Don't worry Guys Novartis and Bayer also lost case in supreme Court of India and WTO level. And Humanity win
India for all. Hi from Peru.
Peru, Love from India 🇮🇳
Supreme court has given its landmark judgment against ever greening of patents... Lots of poor people around the world will get access to cheaper generic drugs... More power to India... Jai Hind
20 year is not enough ? company only want profit not saving human life .. I support indian govt in this regard ...respect from Bangladesh .
im a filipino im happy for the generic medicine in general its exposed all over the world poor people get a chance to but cheaper medicine same quality with the branded one
In the middle of the Indian flag their is Dharma chakra. And thus doing any thing which is not right is disrespecting the flag and thus country.
Sam Awesome go n learn rules idiot, private firms are not allowed to show flag with chakra only tri color.
Nikhil first go and learn language stupid. Without understanding the crunch of post you can’t just come bashing here. Seriously people here are nuts. Like fighting for no reason.
greatly said brother.....dharma is our duty our duty to be followed anyhow.......
❤️ well said
I cant stand this music everytime India is in news.
🤣🤣🤣
Its funny how westerners think that we listen to this kind of music, but ironically we hear it only in western produced content on India
@J Morris 😠
Indian Govt.True democracy 2-0 Greedy Western Pharma. Yay.
In india you can buy any medicine in 3 different way
1. Huge price from Brand
2. Less price in generic medicine store
3. Free of cost from govt hospital
Thank you world for supporting India and Humanity. It is not a victory of India, Its a victory of Humanity.
This is why we (India) are largest democractic country in the world.
Our law and government protect human value.
Recently India government has put on cap on many important medicines that no company rise their products price above the government cap rates.
India is the world of pharmacy.
It gives hope to all developing countries.
Proud for India.
20 years patent should be cut short to 5. Pharma companies need to succeed more often in making drugs rather basking on few for decades.
and u get no new drug
What the hell is the use of research if it cant be applied to benefit patients!
Anish Ahlawat just shut up. The living is everyone right in this world.
Tamal Plays that is what he said too
France 24 , First make my country INDIA map proper ... how will u feel if we show France map wrong .
Jay P y what is wrong in it?

Guys Jay P meant that France 24 is showing pak is a part of India but currently, it is not. see the video at 0.27
Kudos to INDIA & the Supreme Court for taking on the ever Hungry & the Profit Mongering Pharmaceutical Industry. The concessions & term limits extended to Patent holders need to be restricted so as to bring affordable Generic Drug formulations to market & for Humanity.
الهند متقدمة جداً وتتقدم بخطوات أكثر سرعة في مجال الدواء
Mr.Novartis man, it's not about what you think it is about, it is about life and death.
I agree with Ms. Dhananjaya S. that doctors and the entire medical community should have a sense of ethics around the business of drugs/medicines. What's the point of pricing a drug high that a common man cannot afford and he dies.. ? The medication could not reach him since he could not afford it. So, generic drugs seem like a only viable choice of survival for these patients.
Kudos to indian pharma industry and the indian gov for spearheading such noble cause
Thousands of Indians will perish unable to afford expensive drugs if the monopoly of these pharmaceutical drugs takes force. Generic drugs are the way to go if you cannot afford expensive drugs.
*millions of humans will die all over the world
My dear sir, its not only India but the poor people in whole of the world
If you are making minor changes, then you will get patent for that minor change. You won't get renewal of patent after 20 years... That's bad and greed without any actual innovation...
Thumbs up India.
5:06 The revelation would have come down like 'death sentence' to him. This guy simply smiles and accepts his fate and says 'then my time is over'. How can top brass or for that matter any employee of such companies sleep peacefully at night?
Several years ago, Doordarshan (India's national channel) used to telecast customer awareness ads, which would tell people to pay right price for any commodity and always bargain for over priced commodity even if one finds it affordable, because poor people can not.
So money is more important than lives of Humans , people will invent new medicines not because of patent but to help human lives ,
anybody who invents with greed as a goal has no right to call themselves humans.
show correct map of india.
Yup
In this news Map for India Showing Wrong
Join the POK into the Indian Map
Im so proud of Supreme Court....they are the beat
Some : Expensive medicine
S.Court : Get the hell out of here....
Want to know how much a paracetamol tablet costs out there in the foreign land?
This is incomplete news.. the patent Novartis filed in India for glivec is a new form of originally invented drug, for which a patent has not not been filed, which is statutorily not allowable.. ahhh its a lot to explain
The appetite for money in US Parma industry is unending.
The broken patent system needs to be fixed, especially for medicine.
why do the Europe show only India's slum only instead of showing its development in many field and its smart cities!!!!
20 year is enough to recover profits if not then increase it 23 years but patent cannot be forever.
Kudos to India. The rich guys who own Novartis are stupidly greedy, to say the least. They would anyway not be able to sell their expensive medicines in India. The poor would just die out of a lack of treatment. So, I cannot figure out how does Novartis make a loss out of an Indian generic medicine? Secondly, the Novartis profits go to the owners and not to the scientists who developed the drugs. Some of their scientists could be from India and other third-world countries. The patent arguments could become quite complex when we begin to dig into the cost of research and the value of profit.
Medicine research and medicine production should be completely decoupled. Goverments should give good prize money for discovering a new medicine. In fact there should be a global fund for this. Once a medicine has been discovered, everyone should be allowed to make the medicine at a cheap price.
Same old western propaganda machinery! Choice is simple human life vs business houses. Just search for "evergreening of patents" . I'm 28 and type 2 diabetic, the cost of medicine for every week 250/- but with generic medicine its 100+/- ($2 per week).
Better than generic is to introduce one drug one price for all pharmaceuticals.
what would be the USE of innovation in new medicines if people cant afford it ....
If you don't want to reward innovation, no innovation will rise. Hence why india is stuck
Allowing patent on minor Tweeks will kills innovation since companies will not innovate rather will focus on tweaking this compromising future Innovation
I support indian govt .
In India the cardio vascular surgery cost 1/10 the cost in America what do you say about that? So also other medical treatments. There is innumerable patients from Europe and America treated .Should we change based on nationality and charge how much it cost you.Are you not benefited by low cost software developed by India.
you are showing wrong map of India please correct it.
What kind of India map was that?
You missed Kashmir. YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT
@Nikhil Vishnu When are you going start being an Indian and fight for your land?
I want to add three things:
Firstly, please get your geography right @france24 at 0:32 and provide the correct cartographic depiction of india
Secondly, at 2:50 there's no breach in patent laws as it is fine to hold up to your intellectual property rights upto the prescribed time.......the problem is to claiming monopoly over the patent even after the prescribed time is over thereby evergreening the IP
Thirdly, it is being continuously portrayed as if it is the problem of millions of indians. Let me be quite clear about this, it is the problem of billions of third world people not just india but an approximately 150 or more countries whose healthcare and medical system depends upon generics. From somalia to sudan, mexico to mozambique, india to indonesia......all are the victims
We need affordable drugs more then Mony hungry companies.
What you don't know the map of india
45billion is not sufficient, to give motivation in any currency for researchers. WOW.
What
Inside hospital drugs stores high Price printing
How did they relate India to poor country?
We r developing..not poor..
Report:
The Restricted Medicines are fixed Less Price value and sold out in Financially Backward or Undeveloped Countries by the Smugglers in Sea.
does she not sound like Trisha Takanawa, the asian female news reporter from the sticom, Family guy?
a little 😂
One dislike for India's wrong map.
World countries should not send their nationals to India for medical assistance, only then those governments should ban indian drugs....
Patents do not undermine inovation.
Correct, inventions are made by innovators. Not by capitalists. Capitalists just buy the inventions and make money.
Innovators will always exist, with or without capitalism.
"A few people are going to get very very rich"...........at what cost??
when just two people are going to benefit from your research than better don't waste your resources in such research.
I'm literally sick of this music when they show India(tabla and flute)
Whenever even in discovery channels as soon as Indian image pops out the music starts
It's really frustrating
You can show your content without being musical all the time
And just for your surprise in India we also use Drum , Guitar and all the instruments available here.
Even tabla will do at this point.
"A lot of ppl will die and a few ppl will get very rich"
Its kind of rich vs poor again.
Copy? 🤣 this is intellectual theft and that is not allowed. Those are called selling patents .
Evergreening is illegal in India. That is the clarity novartis is given. The real culprits are those who practise evergreening of patents for generic drugs.
Patent protection exists because society benefits. If society does not benefit, patent protection will not exist. The debate is right to profit vs society benefits. Patent protection should always be accompanied by price regulation.
Proud
yikes!
Indians courts are best at delaying processes so forget the patent. And even if they get the patent. We are best at back door projects. 😂
Yeah true but not the supreme court. Also people won in this case.
@@Anandchoubey1yes… court acted speedily and with humanity instead of laws
Very biased hass a perticular filter
medicines should be cheap .
Indian medicine is great! I like China’s President and their numbers
The "fraction of the cost" has a reason behind it - cost cutting that puts people at risk.
😂
Not really. The reduction in cost has to do with the fact that generic drug manufacturers don't need to spend as much on R&D. They only need to back engineer the drug once the patent expires after 20 years. It's the drug companies that resort to 'evergreening' which keeps the medicines unaffordable for a large part of the world, that pose a greater threat to life.
naah these drugs saved aids epidemic in African continent
Generic medicine made in India and sold in the US is FDA approved. Pharmaceutical companies have to have higher margins to make up for the money they spend on R&D.
I am a Pakistani and i have much respect for the Generic medicine India's Produce. Living is everyone right in this world not for few elites.
