What happens if it is impossible to exploit an invention protected by a patent or utility model certificate without violating the rights of a previously granted patent or utility model certificate?
In such a case, the owner of the later patent or utility model certificate may request a compulsory license. The license will be granted in accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs (C) and (E) of Item (1) of Article (25) and will allow the owner to exploit their invention to the extent necessary. However, the later invention must either serve different industrial purposes or represent a significant technical advancement compared to the earlier invention covered by the previous patent or utility model certificate.
