A '''mandatory patent license''' is part of most [[Consortium license]]s. It requires all [[patent]]ed (or even sometimes just "patentable" [[improvement]]) to be licensed to all [[consortium]] members on the same identical terms. It does not necessarily include [[required reintegration]] of new inventions based on the old ones, but it might (that is a separate concern in its own page here). Government agencies often are required to offer licenses on patents they file. [[Consumerium License]] might choose to work within a [[Green Patent License]] or [[open patent]] regime eventually - retaining the rights until they can be protected and used for [[self-funding]] if it can be reasonably argued that these might be workable in practice. This is up to the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] which might use different approaches for different parts of the system. See [[healthy signal infrastructure]] for a more general framework of something that the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] of [[Consumerium Services]] might be part of, and which would probably have one or more elements under some such a mandatory license.
