This Decision implements the second and third sentences of paragraph 7 of the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health.

The decision adopts a Protocol of Amendment that is open for members to accept.

The decision was adopted in the light of a statement read out by the chairperson, who also read out a statement on “non-violation” complaints.

Leastdeveloped countries will not have to protect pharmaceutical patents and test data until 1 January 2033. • 2015: Decision on Least Developed Country Members – Obligations under Article 70.8 and Article 70.9 of the TRIPS Agreement with Respect to Pharmaceutical Products.
