These can be found in Arts. 43 to 47 of the Romanian Law No. 64/1991 on patents. According to Art. 43(1) PL, at the request of any interested person, the Bucharest Tribunal may grant a compulsory licence upon the expiry of a period of four years from the filing date of the patent application or a period of three years after the grant of the patent, whichever term expires later. More information can be found [here](https://e-courses.epo.org/wbts_int/CompulsoryLicensing/CL_RO.pdf). ## Compulsory licences Romania has been requested to issue a compulsory licence for [[HCV medicines]] by civil society. The compulsory licence has not been issued because the application is still pending.
