Abstract
The COVID 19 pandemic has resulted in devastating social and economic impact. Hundreds of thousands of lives have lost and lives of billions more have been spilled. Apart from developing a successful Co-vaccine, the vital challenge is to ensure equitable access by accountability and transparency in vaccine allocation. 'Nobody wins the race until everyone wins' because this global infectious threat knows no boundaries. While 90% successful vaccines are set for the pandemic, patent regimes have to be ready with a well balanced mechanism promoting innovation and ensuring access to COVID 19 treatment. Call for 'patent waver' on COVID 19 was also a miserable failure. Equally alarming is pandemic profiteering by institutions like Vanderbilt University and AstraZeneca. Challenge before the international community is not simply the vaccine development; real threat is vaccine nationalization and patent monopolization. In this context the patent law of the kingdom has a critical role in spurring innovation on COVID 19 treatments and also it in ensuring equitable access of the vaccine to the developing countries.
