Compulsory licencing

A legal requirement for the owner of a patent to let other firms produce its product, under specified terms. Countries sometimes require foreign patent holders to licence domestic firms so as to improve access to the patented product at lower cost. This is permitted by the TRIPs Agreement for certain purposes, such as protecting public health.
