State Ownership. Although compulsory licensing erodes the proprietary interest of an owner of intellectual property, it is less invasive than outright nationalization, the taking of property into public ownership in exchange for payment of ‘fair compensation’to its owner. Public ownership has returned in recent times but more as a response to financial emergency than as a policy for more settled times. Historically, the law of the European Union’s predecessors was neutral on the issue of state ownership of the means of production. The TFEU still provides that ‘The Treaties shall in no way prejudice the rules in Member States governing the system of property ownership’,15 a formulation relative to public ownership and traceable back to the EC Treaty16 and prior to that, expressed slightly differently, to the Treaty of Paris.17 But the TFEU also provides for ‘a highly competitive social market economy’.18 The require- ment of equal treatment, in all its manifestations including but not confined to the law of state aid, means that a state-owned undertaking cannot (except conceivably in very particular circumstances unrelated to the issues being examined) be given new privileged access to a strategic position in the economy of an EU or EEA state.19 Similarly, the freedoms embodied in the TFEU and the EEA Agreement preclude any steps that might have the effect of penalizing an undertaking from another Member State/contracting party state for having successfully scaled the commanding heights of an economy in a host state, following the exercise of its right of establishment there.20 Given that compulsory licensing is available and that, because it does not involve outright transfer, the amount of ‘fair compensation’ payable is the value of not more than a non-exclusive limited licence of the total intellectual property right; given also that fair compensation would be the open market price on a willing-purchaser, willing-seller basis determined, in the absence of agreement, by an expert valuer, it is difficult to see what benefit the state could obtain from outright nationalization that it could not obtain at less cost from a compulsory licence. It should also be noted that the fact that an undertaking is wholly or partly owned by a Member State does not of itself entitle the state to accord to that undertaking any treatment more favourable21 or less favourable22 than accorded to wholly private undertakings.
