Abstract

There is a special type of compulsory patent licence which allows the government to use an invention without the patentee’s permission, in the United Kingdom this is called Crown use. The scope and process for Crown use has received little attention over the years. However, the recent decision of IPCOM v Vodafone addressed two gateway issues – what is meant by the services of the Crown and the scope of authorisations. This discussion considers those two issues and contextualises the findings of the court.
