schestowitzThe author, Roya Ghafele, responds to the comments above as follows.Nov 28 13:07
schestowitz"What the data suggests is that none of the important patent owners seems to focus on bringing tobacco harm reduction technologies to developing countries. The data rather proposes that their principal focus remains developed countries and not developing countries, for the time being. This is a different argument from the somewhat theoretical argument that there could be a hypothetical 'generic manufacturing' industry that is based on copying the Nov 28 13:08
schestowitzinformation from patents in other parts of the world. Even though this was not the subject of my article, I do not believe that such an industry is likely to emerge in the near future in the tobacco harm reduction space. This is because it takes more than patents to build a viable tech industry in a developing country. There is a need for know-how, physical infrastructure, skilled labour and motivation to build up new technology products in a market.Nov 28 13:08
schestowitz Patents are just one element of the building block. Hence, I believe, that just having access to patents alone may in this specific situation simply not be enough. I must however emphasize that this is a different argument which has nothing to do with my article."Nov 28 13:08
