Abstract
Debates continue to rage about the propriety of pharmaceutical patents, especially as required by the TRIPS Agreement. In such moral debates, it is important to have a grounding in moral philosophy. This article frames the issue within the writings of Thomas Aquinas, especially his concept of the universal destination of goods. In this framework, one can determine whether TRIPS is indeed a just law. One can also realize the steps that the major players – both nations and pharmaceutical companies – should take to bring about true justice and the common good.
