Initiative for Medicines, Access, & Knowledge
Initiative for Medicines, Access, & Knowledge
I-MAK is a team of lawyers and scientists increasing access to affordable medicines by making sure the patent system works.
We at I-MAK believe:
The patent system was designed to balance innovation in medicines and the dissemination of new treatments to society.
The current patent system disproportionately represents and upholds private interests over the public good. This can and must change.
Such change should be informed by patients' needs.
Armed with the best evidence, our lawyers and scientists are giving the public a voice in a system that impacts their health and lives.
We are a U.S.-based not-for-profit group working globally.
