  • 人們總想健康、長存,以實現設定在人生中每個階段的目標,或簡簡單單地渴望有更多餘韻與所珍視者相處;誠然,「健康」扮演著人生舉足輕重的角色,致使基本人權中涵蓋著「健康權」應不容置喙。然維持健康狀態,僅有良善的生活環境、均衡的營養、或規律的運動是不足的—人會病、會傷,需要藥物的協助與治療;因此,「藥物近用權」隨之而來以補充、支持健康權。
    然則,財產權亦是另一項基本人權,且智慧財產權又被歸類於財產權之中;如此,「健康權/藥物近用權」與「智慧財產權」之間所生的衝突,並不是一個易解的問題,反之,應更細緻地處理了。這篇論文,著眼於討論這兩者間的其中一種衝突形式—藥品專利的強制授權,以2005年的克流感案,針對TRIPS和杜哈宣言所規範的國家緊急情況認定為客體。
    我相信正義存在於人性尊嚴之中,無論貧賤;當藥品成為專利而升抬價格,適當的強制授權制度介入使價格合理些。而法律回歸人本,我們該尋找制度設計背後的價值取捨,並確立是真切地具有社會的功能性,而非止於邏輯推衍或計算利潤成本。在現有的知識基礎之上,我盼能開展地更深刻,覓得支持保障智慧財產制度運行的同時,亦兼顧健康權和藥物近用權的正義。
    本論文以比較研究強化國際觀點,佐以文獻分析,併附參與研討會、工作坊以蒐集想法和回應,試圖處理強制授權的正義和正當性課題;最終,有了結果和建議,即根據不同的情況,有更多樣的強制授權選擇形式,或另闢溪徑,訴諸於國家徵用的手段。


    Normally, people want to stay “healthy”, to live longer, to realize the goals set in each stages of life, or simply ask for more time spending with their love ones—“health” indeed plays big parts of our lives, which makes it no doubts that “Human Rights” contain the “Right to Health”. Yet, to maintain in healthy condition, sometimes only good living environment, balancing nutrition, or regular sports are not enough—people get sick or injury and need the help of medications or medical treatments, so, follow by the “Right to Health”, we need “Access to Medicines” to complete and supplement.
    However, “Property” is another basic “Human Right”. As “Intellectual Property” (“IP”) are also one kind of “Property”, the conflicts between “right to health/access to medicines” v. “IP rights” are not a trivial question; rather, something could be think more. In this thesis, I mainly discuss one of the conflict—the compulsory licensing in pharmaceutical patents, using the “Tamiflu case” in 2005, as a case analysis focusing on the issue of “National Emergency” under the TRIPS and Doha Declaration regarding to grant compulsory licensing.
    I believe in justice of human dignity is ought to be accessed to anyone regardless poor or wealth—while the pharmaceutical patents sustain the high price level of drugs, proper compulsory licensing may help to change into affordable prices. With law belongs to humanities, we should seek for the values that are really functional to the society, rather than simply resort to logical deduction or cost-benefit analysis. I long to explore deeper so as to seek the justice behind all the knowledge I’ve known up till now to support the IP policy, meanwhile, taking care of the right to health and access to medicines.
    By comparative research to facility international perspective with literature analysis of paper works, as well as entering conferences and workshop to collect the idea and feedbacks, I deal with the justice and legitimacy of compulsory licensing in pharmaceutical patents; and finally, reach the conclusion and recommendation that to reform the R.O.C. IP law to cover more choices of granting compulsory licensing or trying the resort to “Public Use” or “National Use” under different level of needs.
