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”.
