The aim of this thesis is to make policy recommendations for Turkey in order
to facilitate innovative activities resulting in more patent applications in
pharmaceutical industry through comparing her with the selected countries / USA, EU, Japan, India, China and Korea. The comparison is performed in
terms of the patent, research and development (R& / D) expenditures and
basic research. This study begins with firstly indicating the relationship
between patents and innovation in sector basis. When it is looked at this
relationship patents are the most necessary tool for pharmaceutical industry.
Therefore, in the main part of the thesis the patents and innovations in
pharmaceutical sector are analyzed mostly. However, this analysis is not
done in all aspects but it is done in terms of research and development
expenditures and basic research. Patent is mainly a result of research and
development activities. Besides, basic research is also effective in making
innovations and so in patent system. Because of these reasons, the
relationship between patents and innovations in pharmaceutical industry are
covered in terms of these two aspects-R& / D expenditures and basic
v
research-. These relationships are analyzed in country level. In this thesis, in
order to see the right route for Turkey and give some advises to Turkish
patent and innovation system especially in pharmaceutical industry Turkey is
compared with USA, EU, Japan, China, India and Korea. The reason to take
USA, EU and Japan is that, these countries are developed countries, the
biggest patent offices in the world are in these countries and the number of
patent applications is the highest in the offices of these countries. On the
other hand, China, India and Korea are taken as subject to the comparison
because these countries are developing countries like Turkey and the
development levels of these countries are not too higher than Turkey. In this
thesis, through comparing Turkey with the selected countries, some policy
recommendations are done for Turkey and this thesis may open door to
further studies on the patent and innovation system of Turkey especially in
pharmaceutical industry.
