Article 48
Where the owner of the invention claims that the conditions and circumstances that led to the issuance of the compulsory exploitation license no longer exist, or claims that the exploiter has been unable to act in accordance with the terms of the decision of the board referred to in Article (40) of this Act and its conditions, he shall file a request for revocation of the compulsory exploitation license, together with the relevant documents and evidence, with the secretariat of the said board. The secretariat is obliged, within at most ten days from the date of filing of the request, to inform the exploiter of the matter together with the reasons, so that, if he has a response, he may communicate it to the secretariat within thirty days. The secretariat must send the statements of the parties, together with the documents and evidence presented, to the said board for decision. The board shall, after hearing the statements of the owner of the invention, the exploiter, and the highest official of the executive body, take the appropriate decision, as the case may be, on rejecting the owner's request or revoking the compulsory exploitation license.
