Intellectual property law on compulsory licenses
The Intellectual Property Rights Law abolishes the Patent Office's authority to issue compulsory licenses to exploit inventions in certain cases, following approval by a ministerial committee formed under the leadership of the Prime Minister. The law specifies important conditions for these licenses, such as the necessity to demonstrate attempts to secure a fair voluntary license and their failure, as well as the licensee's obligation to use the invention seriously within Egypt. The patent holder has the right to appeal decisions within 30 days. The law also stipulates fair compensation for the patent owner and allows for the cancellation or modification of the license before its expiry if the reasons for it cease to exist, while protecting the legitimate interests of both parties.
