The Patents and Plant Variety Rights (Compulsory Licensing) Regulations 2002


These Regulations implement Article 12 of Directive 98/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions (OJ No. L 213, 30.7.98, p. 13). Articles I to I I of that Directive have been implemented by the Patents Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/2037) and Articles 13 and 14 by the Patents (Amendment) Rules 2001 (S.I. 2001/ 1412).These Regulations enable the Comptroller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks and the Controller of Plant Variety Rights, acting jointly, to grant non-exclusive compulsory licences and cross licences where the exploitation of a patent would infringe a plant variety right and vice versa (regulations 6 and 13).In these circumstances an applicant for a compulsory patent or plant variety licence must show that he has applied unsuccessfully to the respective patent or plant variety right holder to obtain a licence (regulations 3(2)(b) and 11(2)(b)).
