Norway has provisions in its legislation relating to the granting of compulsory licences.
These can be found in Sections 45 to 50a of the Patents Act (Act No. 9 of December 15, 1967).
There are different grounds for obtaining a compulsory licence, with different requirements to be considered by the competent authority.

## Compulsory licences
Norway has been requested to issue a compulsory licence for [[Nusinersen]] by MPs. The compulsory licence has not been issued because it was rejected.
