How to Launch Generics in Russia, when the RLD is approved!

How to Launch Generics in Russia, when the RLD is approved.

If the reference listed drug (RLD) is not available in Russia, launching a generic version can be a more complex process compared to countries where the RLD is already marketed. Here are some steps and considerations to keep in mind:

1. Market Research: 

Conduct thorough market research to understand the demand for the generic drug and potential competitors in the Russian market.

2. Regulatory Approval:

Seek approval from the Russian regulatory authority, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, to market the generic drug. You will need to submit a comprehensive dossier containing safety, efficacy, quality, and manufacturing data, even if the RLD is not available in Russia.

3. Clinical Trials: 

In some cases, local clinical trials may be required to support the safety and efficacy claims of the generic drug.

4. Patent Considerations: 

Ensure that there are no patents or exclusivity rights that could hinder the launch of the generic drug in Russia. If there are relevant patents in other countries, consider international patent laws and potential legal challenges.

5. Importation: 

If the RLD is available in other countries, explore the possibility of importing the RLD to Russia and using it as a reference for bioequivalence studies. However, make sure to comply with all importation and customs regulations.

6. Licensing and Partnership: 

Consider collaborating with a local pharmaceutical company or distributor to navigate the Russian market and establish distribution channels.

7. Pricing and Reimbursement: 

Develop a pricing strategy that aligns with the local market and reimbursement policies.

8. Marketing and Sales: 

Develop a marketing plan tailored to the Russian market and its specific requirements.

9. Quality Assurance: 

Ensure the generic drug manufacturing process complies with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and other relevant quality standards.

Launching a generic drug in a market where the RLD is not available can present both opportunities and challenges. It is essential to work closely with local regulatory experts, legal advisors, and distribution partners to navigate the process successfully and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

DoE - Doctrine of Equivalents

The Doctrine of Equivalents is a legal principle that is relevant to patent law, particularly in the United States, and it helps protect inventors' rights even when minor changes or substitutions have been made to a patented invention.  When an inventor applies for a patent, the claims in the patent document define the scope of protection for the invention. These claims outline the specific elements or features of the invention that are considered unique and non-obvious. If another party copies or uses the patented invention without permission, it may be considered infringement. However, in some cases, the accused infringer may make slight modifications to the invention that fall outside the literal scope of the patented claims. The Doctrine of Equivalents comes into play here. It allows the patent holder to assert that the accused infringer's modified version is still equivalent to the patented invention and, therefore, falls within the scope of the patent protection.
