Review of Granted Compulsory Licences
Legislators recognise that exceptions and limitations may be established to help the achievement of the ultimate goal under patent law. However, exceptions and limitations are made to keep the interest balance between the patentee and the public, including the potential competitors of the patentee. Such interest balance would be obtained when patentees are restrained from asserting their exclusive rights against some acts that have no substitution effects on the patented products and, at the same time, are conducive to the disclosure of and access to the patent to enhance the technological development. This inference is supported by Art. 30 of the TRIPS Agreement, after which limited exceptions can be allowed in patent law provided that they “do not unreasonably conflict with a normal exploitation of the patent and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the patent owner, taking account of the legitimate interests of third parties”.
International Intellectual Property Law, Cases and Materials
This casebook organizes contemporary foreign, as well as U.S., case law and literature to equip law students with the knowledge they need to engage in international intellectual property practice, in both transactional and litigation settings. Carefully selected materials also expose students to the social, economic, and cultural considerations that underpin intellectual property law around the world. Each field of law - copyright, patent, trademark, unfair competition, trade secrets, industrial design - is introduced by a comprehensive author's note placing the field in its international and comparative law context, and extensive notes on the cases and materials fill in relevant details, including currently and historically important topics. A substantially expanded teacher's guide offers step-by-step help to teaching every case and doctrine.
