Abstract EN

The legal system of compulsory licenses in the pharmaceutical patent in accordance with the provisions of the Trips Agreement.

In the ence of the developing countries' ability to provide patented medicines, this is due to the exclusive rights of the patent holder.

This is legitimate in accordance with general cases of compulsory licenses, such as the lack of exploitation or inadequacy of the patent.
