Unpredictable IP environment poses threat for multinationals
With a growing economy and 40 million inhabitants, Argentina is one of the most important emerging market destinations in South America. However, an unpredictable regulatory environment presents a significant barrier for multinational pharmaceutical companies’ expansion in the country.
Summary
- Copy drugs or similares are allowed to thrive in Argentina as the regulatory agency ANMAT does not require bioequivalence studies to approve drugs.
- Argentina was a hugely popular South American destination for clinical trials over 2005–11, second only to Brazil.
- There are no provisions for data exclusivity in Argentina, and lack of linkage between regulatory reviews and patent status leads to increased risks of patent infringement
