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.
