Mandatory patent license: Difference between revisions
(removing misleading redirect) |
(the note here has nothing to do with what a mandatory patent license actually IS, so this is now explained independently of the Consortium licenses you find it in - see talk for response tho) |

A '''mandatory patent license''' is part of most [[Consortium license]]s. It requires all [[patent]]ed (or even sometimes just "patentable" [[improvement]]) to be re-licensed to all [[consortium]] members on the same identical terms. | |||
Government agencies often are required to offer licenses on patents they file. | |||
[[Consumerium License]] will probably require giving up patent rights to the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] if only so it can release these to the [[public domain]] without violating anyone's rights. It might also 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]]. | |||
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. | |||
