These can be found in Art. 125 Industrial Property Act (ZIL-1-UPB3). According to Art. 125(1) IPA, compulsory licences may be granted: 1. where the public interest is concerned, in particular if national security, nutrition, health or the development of other vital sectors of the national economy so requires; or 2. where the court has determined that the owner of the patent or his licensee abuses patent rights, in particular where the manner of exploitation is contrary to the adopted regulations or constitutes a distortion of competition (Art. 125(1) IPA).
