Abstract：The evergreening of patent in pharmaceutical industry,which refers to different ways to extend original patents,has increasingly drawn attention worldwide.To solve the problem,a key point is whether relying on the reform of patent law or applying competition law.This paper analyzes different attitudes in India,the U.S.,EU and Canada,and finally concludes that given the unique nature of pharmaceutical industry,the patentability criterion should be appropriately applied and competition law should be applied in a manner that differs from the way it is applied to companies in other sectors.
