Abstract
Compulsory license is the authorization given by the government (Patent Authority) to the third party to make, use or sell a particular product or use a particular process which has been patented. It is to be done without the need of the permission of the patent owner. While thoroughly analyzing the surroundings of this research, it outlines a possible approach for the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to adopt if it should play a role in issuing compulsory licenses.
