[15]
now 94 talks about termination
[19]
termination of a license won on an
[22]
application made by the patentee or any
[24]
other person deriving title or interest
[27]
in the pattern the compulsory license
[29]
and granted under 84 may be terminated
[32]
by the controller if and when the
[34]
circumstances that gave rise to the
[36]
grant thereof no longer exists and such
[39]
circumstances are unlikely to record so
[42]
the patentee can approach if the
[45]
circumstances of grant no longer exist C
[49]
is the only ground on which the grant
[51]
occurred was the fact that it was not
[54]
locally manufactured and the patentee
[56]
after a year or so starts local
[58]
manufacture then the patentee can
[60]
approach the patent controller to say
[62]
that now that local manufacturer said
[64]
this by me the grant can be revoked
[68]
provided that the holder of the
[69]
compulsory license shall have the right
[70]
to object to such termination so again
[74]
there is some kind of an opposition
[76]
proceeding here if the patentee makes an
[78]
application for termination
[80]
the right holder the compulsory licensee
[83]
can oppose it and he can object to it
[86]
too while considering an application
[88]
under subsection 1 the controller shall
[90]
take into account the interest of a
[91]
person who had previously been granted
[95]
the license is not dually prejudiced so
[98]
in looking at a termination it will
[101]
ensure that the rights of a person who
[104]
is enjoying the license is not unduly
[107]
prejudiced so there are certain rules
[109]
pertaining to the chapter on compulsory
[112]
license no 96 states that an application
[118]
for a compulsory license under Section
[121]
84 or 85 91 92 and 92 a you should
[128]
understand that section those section 85
[131]
is mentioned here section 85 is not an
[134]
application for a compulsory license
[135]
rather it's an application for
[137]
revocation but nevertheless since 85 is
[140]
tied to 84 you find that 85 is also
[143]
mentioned here so shall be informed 17
[147]
or
[148]
19 as the case may be so there are two
[150]
forms form 17 and form 19 except in the
[154]
case of an application made by the
[156]
central government the application will
[157]
set out the nature of the person's
[158]
interest and the terms and conditions
[160]
the applicant is willing to have accept
[162]
so if a government makes an application
[165]
there is no need to mention the interest
[168]
if a person or a party other than the
[171]
government makes an application then the
[174]
terms and conditions he is willing to
[176]
accept and he should set out the
[178]
interest involved in the patent now 97
[183]
states when a prima facie case is not
[186]
made up now we saw that in Section 87
[190]
the procedure dealing with the grant of
[194]
compulsory licenses the first
[196]
requirement is that the controller has
[198]
to be satisfied that a primary facie
[201]
case has been made out for making an
[204]
order so the prime officio our
[207]
preliminary or initial satisfaction by
[210]
the controller is a requirement for
[213]
proceeding with an application under 84
[216]
or 85 if the controller was satisfied
[219]
that a prima facie case has not been
[222]
made out for making an order under any
[227]
of the sections referred to in rule 96
[230]
with other five sections he shall notify
[233]
the applicant accordingly and unless the
[236]
applicant requests to be heard in the
[238]
matter within one month from the date of
[240]
such notification the controller shall
[242]
refuse the application so the procedure
[245]
for rejecting an application for
[248]
compulsory license is that if the
[250]
controller is of the opinion that it is
[252]
not satisfied the requirements under 97
[256]
then which is the primer facie case is
[258]
not made out then he shall notify the
[263]
applicant and if the applicant wants to
[266]
be heard he'll hear the applicant and
[268]
within one month from the date of such
[270]
notification the controller shall refuse
[273]
the application so this is a requirement
[276]
for the controller if the controller
[280]
feels
[281]
a primary facie case is not made out
[283]
then this is what this is the procedure
[286]
that he will follow
[288]
he should notify here the current
[289]
applicant if the applicant wants to be
[291]
heard and within one month of the
[293]
notification he can pass an order of
[296]
refusal 97 - if the applicant requests
[302]
for a hearing within the time allowed
[303]
under sub rule 1 the controller shall
[306]
after giving the applicant opportunity
[308]
of being heard determine whether the
[311]
application may be proceeded with or
[313]
whether it shall be refused so he shall
[315]
hear the applicant and then decide
[318]
whether to proceed Auto refuse 98 we had
[322]
seen that there is an opposition
[324]
proceeding in Miss aged in section 87
[328]
the patentee can oppose an application
[331]
for a compulsory license on his patent
[333]
now we also saw that the normal formers
[336]
form 14 for any other opposition other
[340]
than in opposition under the post grant
[342]
provisions which is form 7 a notice of
[345]
opposition under subsection 2 of 87
[348]
shall be given in form 14 and shall be
[351]
sent to the controller within 2 months
[352]
from the date of publication of the
[354]
application under subsection 1 of the
[357]
said section the publication mentioned
[360]
here is when the controller feels that
[365]
the prima facie case has been made out
[367]
he will direct the applicant to serve
[370]
copies on the faculty and shall publish
[372]
the application in the official journal
[374]
so official journal is different from
[378]
the Gazette official journal is the
[381]
Journal of the Patent Office which is
[383]
published every Friday an online version
[386]
is available in the website patterned
[389]
off his website so when an application
[393]
is made for a compulsory license and the
[396]
controller is satisfied there is a prima
[398]
facie case then he would publish the
[402]
application in the Official Journal now
[404]
once this publication happens the notice
[408]
of opposition shall go to
[413]
controller within two months from the
[415]
date of this publication sets a timeline
[417]
given for the patentee to oppose to the
[421]
notice of opposition referred to in
[423]
subgroup one shall include terms and
[426]
conditions of the license if any the
[429]
opponent is prepared to grant to the
[431]
applicant and shall be accompanied by
[432]
evidence in support of the opposition
[434]
now when the patentee opposes the patent
[437]
he can also state the terms on which he
[441]
is willing to grant a license in some
[443]
cases a licensee or an applicant will
[446]
approach for a compulsory license
[447]
because he is not able to get a license
[450]
from the pattern or the patentee is not
[453]
willing to give it on reasonable terms
[455]
as the applicant feels now if there is a
[461]
difference between the two parties the
[463]
patentee who wants to give a license and
[465]
the applicant who wants to take the
[467]
license with regard to the royalty rates
[470]
then by opposing the application for
[475]
compulsory license the patentee can also
[478]
indicate what are the terms that he
[481]
wants so so that the controller can also
[485]
consider if a license is to be granted
[488]
what are the terms on which the patentee
[491]
is willing to grant it so by sending the
[493]
notice of opposition the opponent that
[496]
is the patentee can also include what
[500]
are the terms and conditions that he
[502]
wants to get into the license 3 the
[505]
opponent shall serve a copy of the
[506]
notice of opposition enough and evidence
[509]
to on the applicant and notify the
[510]
controller when this service has been
[512]
effected for no further statement of
[515]
evidence shall be delivered by either
[517]
party except by leave off or on
[519]
requisition by the controller so once
[521]
the opponent serves this statement and
[525]
evidence there won't be any further
[527]
evidence the controller shall fix a date
[530]
and time for hearing of the case and
[532]
shall give parties not less than 10 days
[534]
notice of such hearing this is a normal
[536]
practice when the pleadings are
[537]
completed when the evidence is in place
[540]
the controller shall notify and give 10
[543]
days of notice for hearing the procedure
[546]
specified in sub rules 2 to 5 of rule 62
[550]
shall so far as may be applied to the
[553]
procedure for hearing under this rule as
[555]
they applied to the hearing in
[557]
opposition proceeding and we have seen
[558]
that the provisions for post grand
[561]
opposition will normally apply for every
[564]
other opposition now the manner of
[566]
making a publication of revocation under
[568]
Section 85 shall publish the order made
[571]
by him under subsection 3 or sanctified
[573]
revoking a patent so a revocation under
[576]
it if I shall be published now rule 100
[579]
101 deal with the procedure to be
[582]
followed when under Section 88 in
[588]
section 88 describes the powers of the
[592]
controller in granting compulsory
[593]
licenses under 84 when the content and
[596]
88 is also relevant for the other types
[599]
of compulsory licenses now the
[602]
controller shall take into factor
[603]
whether the person is an existing
[606]
licensee or if he is an existing
[609]
licensee whether to keep the existing
[611]
licensee license intact or to cancel it
[614]
there are various powers that the
[616]
controller has now a hundred and 101
[618]
details the procedure to be followed
[623]
when there is an application under 88
[627]
for 88 for pertains to the revision of
[631]
terms often compulsory license that has
[635]
already been granted we already
[638]
mentioned that once a compulsory license
[641]
is granted the licensee will have to
[644]
work it for at least one year and after
[647]
one year that is 12 months he can
[650]
approach the controller on to revise the
[653]
terms and conditions because on the
[655]
ground that the terms have proved to be
[657]
onerous and he is not able to work the
[661]
invention except as at a loss so 88 for
[665]
deals with the revision of terms of a
[667]
compulsory license and the app there is
[669]
an application under form 20 and there
[672]
is a procedure so hundred and hundred
[673]
and one cover the application and the
[676]
procedure when you need to seek a
[678]
revision or
[679]
the terms of a compulsory license that
[682]
has already been granted now 94 we saw
[686]
that a compulsory license granted can be
[690]
terminated there is an application for
[692]
termination which is form 21 and the
[696]
procedure that has to be followed is
[698]
detailed in rule 102
