“…External opening has been calibrated to meet this goal: trade barriers have come down but only slowly; and the role of foreign investment in the growth process in India-while increasing-is still relatively limited. Even after India lost its battles with the WTO, more recent trade liberalization has been accompanied by state intervention aimed at helping Indian business groups cope with a more open economy (Sinha 2016).…”

Over the last few decades politics in India has moved steadily in a probusiness direction. In this volume we seek to analyze the growing power of business groups in the Indian polity. In this introductory chapter to the volume, we first set the scholarly context to analyze these changes, describe the historical background of India’s probusiness shift, discuss the probusiness tilt beginning in the 1980s and its implications for business power, and provide a summary of the chapters that follow in the volume.

“…Faced with a new status quo , some actors that opposed TRIPS adjusted to the new environment and began to see opportunities where they previously felt only threats. When this happened, they revised their political strategies and were likely to seek alliances with actors that had supported the introduction of new arrangements (Sinha, 2016 ; Shadlen, 2011 ).…”

Twenty-five years since TRIPS: Patent policy and international business

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this introduction to the special issue, we take stock of the impact of the TRIPS agreement on international business in the hyper-globalised world of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. We begin by providing a brief background on TRIPS, putting it in the historical context of international agreements on intellectual property (IP) and then looking at the logic of national patent policies, examining how policies may vary across countries, in theory, and reviewing literature that discusses the factors driving historical variation, in practice. We review the key issues in the domestic politics of implementation as the new rules migrate from the international to national levels. Lastly, we consider the implications of TRIPS for the governance of innovations in industries based on ICT and where ICT has enabled global value chains (GVCs), where the speed and distributed nature of innovation makes IPR simultaneously less effective and more necessary.

“…In particular, the Indian firms generally perceived the TRIPS agreement as a threat to their continued success. This fragmentation led to the rise of two industry associations (Sinha, 2016). The Indian Drug Manufacturers Association (IDMA) had been formed in 1961 to represent the interests of domestic firms (including Ranbaxy and Cipla) to the Indian government.…”

Knowledge Sources and International Business Activity in a Changing Innovation Ecosystem: A Study of the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry

2019

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has experienced rapid growth, becoming the world's largest provider of generic drugs, based on product and process innovation. The industry has undergone dynamic changes in recent decades, operating in a rapidly evolving environment affected by domestic and global policies; a key example of the latter is the TRIPS agreement. Taking an intellectual property perspective, we describe how changes in the innovation ecosystem have affected companies’ strategies related to international activity and accessing knowledge from both internal and external knowledge sources, during the transitional- and post-TRIPS periods (1995–2004 and 2005–2014, respectively). Combining intellectual property arguments with contextual aspects of the innovation ecosystem, we conjecture that, in the post-TRIPS period, externally-sourced knowledge will be more important than internally-sourced knowledge, for Indian pharmaceutical firms’ international business activity.
