The Kyrgyzstan Partnership Network is committed to advocating for fairer intellectual property policies and improving access to life-saving treatments. The organization aims to strengthen legal frameworks and ensure equitable access to essential medicines by engaging with national and regional institutions, including the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO).
The Kyrgyzstan Partnership Network has been actively involved in intellectual property advocacy and patent opposition efforts in collaboration with ITPC EECA. Through its work, the organization has contributed to strengthening the legal framework surrounding intellectual property and access to medicines in Kyrgyzstan.
The Kyrgyzstan Partnership Network has made significant progress during the current project implemented with ITPC EECA. It has issued its first-ever patent oppositions at the national level, marking a crucial step in challenging monopolies on essential medicines. Additionally, the organization has launched the first-ever case for opposing a Eurasian patent, setting a precedent for similar actions in the region.
