Termination of the licence

Where the owner of the invention claims that the circumstances that gave rise to the issuance of the compulsory license no longer exist, or claims that the licensee has been unable to act in accordance with the decision of the board referred to in Article 40 of this Act and its terms, they shall file a request for revocation of the compulsory license, together with the relevant documents and evidence, with the secretariat of the said board. The secretariat must, within ten days at most of the date of filing of the request, communicate the matter together with the reasons to the licensee, so that the licensee, if they have a response, may notify the secretariat within thirty days. The secretariat must forward the statements of the parties, together with the documents and evidence submitted, to the said board for decision. The board, after hearing the statements of the owner of the invention, the licensee, and the highest official of the executive body, shall, as the case may be, take an appropriate decision on rejecting the request of the owner of the invention or revoking the compulsory license.
