Abstract

Thanks to surgical innovation, healthcare has been totally transformed and more advanced therapies and patient outcomes are now feasible. New surgical methods and patent laws clash to cause major issues influencing moral standards as well as the availability of medical treatment. This article examines the complex relationships among patenting surgical techniques, instruments, and technology as well as the more general consequences for patients and the medical community. Patents provide creators exclusive ownership over their creations, therefore guaranteeing a return on investment and hence promoting fresh ideas. Application of copyright law to medical practices raises ethical questions. Limiting the use of patented techniques will help to block the dissemination of life-saving therapies, increase the disparity in healthcare, and cause great financial losses to hospitals and physicians. Legal execution of patent enforcement in hospital environments may be challenging and could compromise patient care. By means of case studies and legal research, this study demonstrates how difficultly the present system of patent law in medicine may be applied. It also examines potential responses like fair licensing agreements, legislative reforms, and cooperative approaches to fresh ideas. Policymakers, healthcare professionals, legislators, and innovators have to negotiate these challenges in order to strike a balance between fostering innovation and guaranteeing everyone has equitable access to healthcare. This paper emphasises the need of fast aligning property law with the moral standards of the medical industry. By developing practical ideas, this research aims to contribute to the fair and long-lasting nature of medical invention. This will benefit everyone else in the globe as well as the creators.
