Summary/
Abstract
This is the second of a four-case series (IMD-3-1496 to IMD-3-1499). The (B) part of the series focuses on the outcome of the lawsuit against the South African government. But the demands from the non-government organisations (NGO's) keep on coming and Garnier, the CEO of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), is faced with some tough decisions to make. Should he allow licensing? How should he deal with parallel importation?
