ProtectionProtection
WHA46.19 requests Member States:
1) to enact rules and regulations, as necessary to ensure that INNs … used in the labellig and advertising of pharmaceutical products are displayed prominently;
2) to encourage manufacturers to rely on their coorporate name and the INNs, rather than on trade marks, to promote and market multisource products introduced after patent expiration;
3) to develop policy guidelines on the use and protection of INNs, and discourage the use of names derived from INNs, and particularly names including established INN stem as trade-marks.
