Seven scenarios of patent loss under IP law
Determining the conditions under which patent rights lapse includes cases such as expiration of the protection term, voluntary surrender by the patent holder, issuance of a ruling declaring the patent invalid, failure to pay annual fees or late penalties for one year, failure to utilize the invention in Egypt within the two years following compulsory licensing, and abuse of rights through the withholding of licenses. The law also provides for expropriation for reasons related to national security in cases of utmost necessity, with fair compensation assessed based on the economic value at the time of the decision. Expropriation decisions are published in the Patent Gazette, and appeals against them can be made before the Administrative Court of Justice within 60 days.
