    GSK has made a major announcement of new policies to expand access to its patented medicines. A copy of the press statement is here. In a nutshell, GSK promises to file fewer patents or license patents in low income countries, lower prices in lower income countries, make its patent landscape more transparent, and to license patents to its oncology drugs to the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), in a number of (but not all) low and middle income countries.
