To facilitate and expedite the discussion with key stake holders, I made the topic of this research the main theme of a patent law conference hosted at Waseda University in June 2015. At the conference, we discussed both the degree of patent protection offered for pharmaceutical inventions in India in comparison to Japan and the US (minimum level of patent protection), but also competition law boundaries to patent protection in the US and Japan ("maximum level" of patent protection). In particular, the interactions with Judge Bhat (Delhi High Court), one of the most famous Indian patent law judges, provided me with excellent access to the Indian patent system and its approach to promote innovation. The proceedings of the conference were or are to be published in academic magazines in Japan.
Besides organizing and publishing the conference, I prepared a conference contribution on the role of patent law in promoting pharmaceutical innovation during a renowned conference in Duesseldorf, Germany, in March 2016.
