This research involved principals and concepts about public policy, as well as concepts about drug patents and compulsory licensing. The focus was on the reasons and needs for compulsory licensing, costs of production or importation of generic drugs for sale under the policy, guidelines and results of the policy implementation, as well as factors that have affected the policy implementation in Thailand. This research relied on mixed methods-qualitative methods and quantitative methods. Qualitative data were studied to explore answers to the research questions, based on secondary data and primary data by means of in-depth face-to-face and phone interviews.
