Reducing. “NEW USE PATENTS” There has been an increase in the number of “new use” patents that have been filed in the past few years.

In addition to companies, patient groups and public interest organizations are also working to oppose patent applications for essential drugs. Most of the opposition filings and movements have been mobilized by CSOs and groups of people living with HIV/AIDS . On January 2006, the Indian Patent office rejected Novartis’ patent application for its anti cancer drug Gleevec- on the grounds ‘new form of a known substance.
