Compulsary licenses for AIDS drugs - Brazil
Several pharmaceutical companies (Abbott, Merck, and Gilead Science) have apparently received a letter from the Health Minister of Brazil, Humberto Costa, giving them 21 days to grant a voluntary license for the productions of some anti-retroviral drugs. If the companies aren’t forthcoming, the Brazilian Government is set to grant licenses under a compulsary licensing mechanism.
