From the day of publication of the order subjecting the patent to the ex officio licence system, any qualified person may apply to the Minister responsible for industrial property for the grant of a licence to exploit the patent. Such licence shall be granted by order of the said Minister on specified conditions, in particular as to its duration and scope, but excluding the royalties to which it gives rise.
It takes effect on the date of notification of the order to the parties.
Failing an amicable agreement approved by the Minister in charge of industrial property and the Minister in charge of public health, the amount of the royalties is set by the judicial court.
