Patents Act, 1970
95. Terms and conditions of compulsory licenses
(1) In settling the terms and conditions of a license under
section 84, the Controller shall endeavor to secure-
(i) that the royalty and other remuneration,
if any, reserved to the patentee or other person beneficially entitled to the
patent, is reasonable, having regard to the nature of the invention, the
expenditure incurred by the patentee in making the invention or in developing
it and obtaining a patent and keeping it in force and other relevant factors;
(ii) that the patented invention is worked to
the fullest extent by the person to whom the license is granted and with
reasonable profit to him;
(iii) that the patented articles are made
available to the public at reasonable prices.
(2) No license granted by the Controller shall authorize the
licensee to import the patented article or an article or substance made by a
patented process from abroad where such importation would, but for such
authorization, constitute an infringement of the rights of the patentee.
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2), the
Central Government may,, if in its opinion it is necessary so to do in the
public interest, direct the Controller at any time to authorize any licensee in
respect of a patent to import the patented article or an article or substance made
by a patented process from abroad (subject to such conditions as it considers
necessary to impose relating among other matters to the royalty and other
remuneration, if any, payable to the patentee, the quantum of import, the sale
price of the imported article and the period of importation), and thereupon the
Controller shall give effect to the directions.
