| Abstract: | The full
scale compliance of TRIPS Agreement essentially represents a big step in the
opposite direction as it effectively ended more than three decades of protection for Indian
companies and terminated legal ‘reverse engineering’. The new patent regime throws a new challenge to the
Indian pharmaceutical industry to maintain its competitiveness and profitability.
This study investigates emerging firm strategies of the Indian pharmaceutical
companies to overcome the challenge posed by new patent regime. The study
concludes that the industry is witnessing a transition phase, and is undergoing
consolidation and restructuring. The industry is adopting a mix of competitive
and collaborative business and R&D strategies in the emerging business
environment |
