Our group decided to probe into intellectual property issues outside the United States. While there are myriad issues that are both relevant and interesting, we decided to focus on pharmaceutical patents and cultural works. The goal of our project was to synthesize what we have learned and supplemented with additional research over the semester in the form of a debate.  Our arguments were put together from case studies and class readings/discussion. The goal was to present both sides of the argument while coming to a middle ground at the end. This came in the form of proposed changes to the current legal system that would be fair to both sides. Our proposed changes are what we believed would create a more balanced patent/copyright system while also being feasible.

The viewpoints expressed do not necessarily represent our personal views on the matter.  The purpose of this project is to present different views on generic drugs and cultural works for the sake of dialogue and debate.
