Limitations to Rights Conferred by Patents Sample Clauses

Limitations to Rights Conferred by Patents. Despite all rights mentioned above, patent protection has various procedural and legal limitations. Procedurally, a patent applicant must submit a clear description of the invention.163 This requirement serves a couple of objectives. The most important objective is the avoidance of "misappropriation of patents" based on 157TRIPS, supra note 2, at Article 28.1(a). information that is already available in the public domain. Another objective is the dissemination of knowledge, which is claimed by the TRIPS to be one of its priorities.164 The requirement also aims at quieting fears shared by developing countries regarding adverse effects of the TRIPS on their developmental potential. The TRIPS also endorses general exceptions that are similar to those provided for copyrights. For such exceptions to be acceptable under the TRIPS Agreement, they have to be limited. They also should not conflict with the owner's rights or normal exploitation of the patent. The generic wording of such "limited exceptions" compared to the explicit wording in compulsory licenses has made them impractical to apply. The most serious and effective exception to patents is compulsory licensing. The TRIPS has a long list of conditions for any WTO member trying to use compulsory licensing.165 However, grounds for issuing such licenses are not exhaustively listed in the TRIPS. The TRIPS adjusts some of the grounds for only some of the conditions. These adjustments take the form of attaching the grounds to particular conditions, or waiving some conditions for some of the grounds. Adoption of a compulsory licensing system is not an obligation for members. The obligation comes only when the member decides, before using the system, to abide by the conditions.166 Ironically, the terminology "compulsory licensing" is not referred to in the TRIPS. "Other use" (than the limited exceptions) is the description used in the TRIPS for compulsory licensing.167 WTO documents indicate that the TRIPS provisions on "other use" actually deal with compulsory licensing.
