Ref.: C.L.33.2022
The World Health Organization presents its compliments and has the honour to transmit, in
accordance with Article 3 of the “Procedure for the Selection of Recommended International
Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances”1, the following lists of proposed international
nonproprietary names (prop. INN) which has been published by the World Health Organization in
WHO Drug Information, Vol. 36, No. 2, 2022.
It would be appreciated if this communication could be forwarded to the appropriate patent and
trade-mark office and to any other organization dealing with the introduction of nonproprietary
names for pharmaceutical substances. Any comments that may be made, or notifications of a conflict
between proposed names and existing proprietary rights, should be addressed to the INN
Programme, World Health Organization, 1211 Geneva 27, within four months following the
publication of the above-mentioned journal, for:
- p.INN list 127 from p. 305 to 552 (deadline for objecting and commenting is
21 November 2022)
- p.INN list 127 – COVID-19 (special edition) ADDENDUM p. 555 to 565 (deadline for
objecting and commenting is 21 November 2022).
- p.INN list 127 – COVID-19 (special edition) p. 553 - 554 (This part has already been
published, deadline for objecting and commenting was 24 May 2022).
The World Health Organization furthermore has the honour to transmit, in accordance with the
“International Nonproprietary Names for Variant COVID-19 Vaccine Active Substances” document
available on WHO website: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/inn-21-520 (INN Working
Document 21.520 April 2021), the following list of proposed international nonproprietary names
(prop. INN) which has been published by the World Health Organization on the WHO website at
https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240053199.
The selection of international nonproprietary names by the World Health Organization for use
in all Member States presents many difficulties. It would therefore be appreciated if this were borne
in mind when it is contemplated to exercise the right to raise objections.
Furthermore, the World Health Organization would be grateful if, in the interest of public
health and pursuant to the procedure referred to in the first paragraph of this communication, the
... enclosed lists of names* could be granted protection in Member States during the period they are
under consideration by the World Health Organization as international nonproprietary names.
