Violation of drugs patents: Boehringer Ingelheim demands mechanisms in place

Drug major Boehringer Ingelheim India has urged authorities to put in place a system that will inform patent holders whenever an application is filed by local brands for generic versions of patented molecules. The demand of the company, which is part of Germany's privately-held Boehringer Ingelheim, also comes at a time when there are rising concerns over patent infringements and copyright violations in various sectors, including the fast growing pharma space.
