These can be found in the Code of Industrial Property (CIP), sections 129 to 137. Compulsory licences may be obtained on the following grounds: - non-use of patented invention; - the dependence of patents; - exportation of the pharmaceutical products due to public health problems in other countries; - the patent holder is engaged in intrusive, destructive or restrictive activities while the patent is in use; - development of a new plant variety (Section 129/1(d) CIP); or - for matters of public health or national security. More information can be found [here](https://e-courses.epo.org/wbts_int/CompulsoryLicensing/CL_TR.pdf). ## Generic manufacturers Turkey has its own generic manufacturer: [IEIS](http://www.ieis.org.tr/ieis/en/).
