The Complainant claims that its pharmaceutical products are sold in 155 countries, reaching nearly 800 million people globally in 2018. According to the Complainant, about 125.000 people of 145 nationalities work at Novartis around the world. \r\n\r\nThe Complainant asserts that it has a strong presence in China, where the Respondent is located.
