Patented Remedies
Historical document, translated for reference. It reflects medical knowledge of the 1920s–30s and is not medical advice.
Summary
This article defines patented remedies as proprietary pharmaceutical preparations protected by patents or certificates. It notes that Soviet law does not grant patents for medicinal substances themselves, but rather protects the manufacturing process or the trademark.
Encyclopedia entry (1928–1936)
PATENTED REMEDIES, ready-made preparations with proprietary names for which a manufacturer obtains a patent or a certificate of protection. Under Soviet legislation, patents for medicinal remedies are not issued; only the method of manufacture, if it is original, or the trademark is protected (see Ready-made remedies).
