<Examination guideline of JPO>

Inventions of medical practice (inventions of methods of surgery, therapy or diagnosis for

humans) are not patent eligible.

Method of extracting samples and data from human body (e.g. blood, cell, tissues), or

analyzing them are patent eligible.

If the samples extracted from human body are supposed to be returned to the same

body, the method of extracting or analyzing is deemed "medical practice for humans" -

NOT patent eligible.

Even when returned to the same body, method of manufacturing medicine (e.g. vaccine,

genetically modified preparation, cell medicine) or medical material (e.g. artificial

substitute of human body) is patent eligible.

effect is revealed

17

<Examination Guideline of JPO>

If things in nature such as chemical substances or microorganisms have been isolated

artificially from their surroundings, those are creations and considered as a statutory

"invention".

(US) 2 steps test

1) Process, Machine, Manufacture or Composition?

2)-a Law of Nature or Natural Phenomenon?

2)-b "Significantly more" than judicial exceptions

(EU)

To find a previously unrecognised substance occurring in nature is also mere discovery

and therefore unpatentable. However, if a substance found in nature can be shown to

produce a technical effect, it may be patentable. e.g. antibiotics, gene

Regenerative Therapy - ES cell and iPS cell

18

<Patent Eligibility>

ES cell (Embryonic Stem) cell is not patentable in Europe.

iPS cell (induced pluripotent stem) is patentable.

iPS cell itself is patented by way of product-by-process claim in JP

Patented as a nuclear reprogramming factor in US and Europe

Could patent be granted on iPS cell, which has same structure as existing ES cell?

Could patent be granted on internal organ created from iPS cell?

<Freedom to Operate>

Many and diversified approaches /steps are taken for industrialization (producing

cells, induction of differentiation of cells, delivery system of cells, etc)

• Difficult to count on one or just a few patent right(s) like small molecule compound

• Difficult to specify which third-party patents are relevant, and then make a solution

hormone, but better in engrafting

Open Innovation for drug development in Japan

21

1. Long term (10 years) commitment

2. "Open Innovation": Housed in the center of a drug company's research headquarter. Over 100 researchers at one site.

3. Public Contribution: After filing patents, CiRA and Takeda encourage publication of outcomes that will accelerate public research.

4. Internationality: The Program will recruit scientists from all over the world.

RINGO-T

• Invite academia to present new assay systems.

• Takeda will put its compound libraries into screenings, using the assay system.

• Takeda reports back to the presenter the findings gained by the screenings.

• The presenter can freely disclose and utilize the outcome.

• The outcome may lead to breakthrough to new drug discovery by academia, industries or Takeda.

Patentability issue in developing countries

27

Repositioning or Re-invention of existing drugs requires less time and

costs for R&D, and contribute to improve patients' QOL in efficient way.

1. Utility Doctrine

a. Canada; a patent's usefulness must be established, whether by

demonstration or by sound prediction at time of patent application

2. Patentability

a. Argentina; new dose or combination use is not patentable.

b. India; new indication is not patentable, as considered merely

"discovery"

c. Indonesia; new law likely incorporate same article as India

3. Restriction on data submission

a. China; Data submission after patent filing is not allowed

(Novartis)

Next?

29

Case Study: Colombia

Issue Facts Actions

Healthcare cost

increase

- Colombian universal healthcare

system health insurance to bear

high costs for coverage of Glivec®

- No access issues

Colombian Government might need

CL to lower health insurance costs

WHO backing

activities

- Colombia seek for WHO's advice

- WHO recommended CL for

Imatinib as an essential medicine

- Unsuitable usage of CL

WHO mentioned drug price was a

barrier of AtM and CL is a mean for

affordability (without full IP

understanding)

Failed negotiation (Novartis & Colombian MoH)

Despite Novartis' good faith efforts,

the parties could not reach an

agreement

- Possible direct and discriminatory

price reduction (Colombian gov.)

- Lobbying activities through

industry associations are ongoing

Glivec® (Imatinib) at risk of being warranted with CL

- Cancer drug (oral tablet) for KIT+ gastrointestinal stromal tumors (Novartis)

- Current total patients in Colombia: 2,000 (600 receive Glivec® treatment and 1,400

receive generic treatment)

- Price: lowered twice in the last three years*3

- Patent coverage: expires in 2018; only covers beta polymorph (not infringed by

generic version)

Patent Applications

Any existing data owned by a product development partner and/or any new

data obtained through activities invested by the GHIT Fund may be

disclosed by the GHIT Fund to a third party if such data is used in a patent

application for a product which was derived from the activities invested by

the GHIT Fund; provided, however: (1) that the disclosure of such data

shall be limited to the proposed title of the invention, a draft of the abstract,

the international non-proprietary name (INN) where applicable, and an

outline of the specifications of such patent application; and (2) such third

party shall take reasonable measures to keep confidential any such data

received from the GHIT Fund.

GHIT Policy

New Data

Ownership of any and all data and findings that is obtained or created through

activities invested by the GHIT Fund and that can be applied for any intellectual

property rights will be discussed and negotiated between participants and/or

product development partners of a project. All final agreements shall be in

alignment with the licensing and pricing principles outlined below.

GHIT Policy

43

Principle of Product Access Policy

Licenses

When product development partners and/or participants are successfully granted

a patent deriving from projects invested by the GHIT Fund, product development

partners and/or participants will grant royalty-free licenses to users operating

in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) as categorized by the United Nations

classification and Low-Income Countries (LICs) categorized by the World Bank

classification. License-related matters concerning middle income countries will be

reviewed on an individual basis with the goal of ensuring reasonable royalty

licenses.

Pricing

In LDCs, LICs and middle income countries, product development partners

and/or participants will set prices for products on the basis of a no gains/no

loss policy that can improve access to the product for patients and citizens of

LDCs, LICs and middle income countries.
