6 Pool/Gilead Agreement Key Features: Includes: TDF, 3 pipeline drugs: cobicistat (COBI), elvitegravir (EVG) and Quad; retains covenant not to sue on emtricitabine (FTC) Pipeline products inclusion will help accelerate bringing new products to market Licensed Territory: for TDF, expanded to 112 countries; for COBI, changed to 103 countries; for EVG-Quad, 100 countries.

7 Geographical Scope Largest Geographical scope of any VL to date TDF: 112 countries (87.6%) COB: 103 (82.7%) EVG and Quad: 100 countries (82.7%) A recognized shortcoming in the licence Most difficult issue in negotiations with patent holders Ask: all low and middle income countries. But Pool is a voluntary mechanism Make as many people as possible better off, while ensuring no country worse off than status quo ante E.g. Important that licensees can supply countries under a CL 7

10 Concluding comments License with Gilead not a template – agreements with other companies are likely to be different we will continue to work on improvements of existing licenses We benefit from comments we receive and public debate on the licenses UNITAID UNITAID with others to encourage all HIV patent holders to enter into negotiations with the Pool IP goes beyond access -> role in innovation - I+A agenda -> encourage uptake of licenses encourage and steer/create the market for the development of adapted formulations To develop an i+a agenda beyond the pool Put challenges for middle income countries on the agenda
