Side by side

Compare organizations

Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.

Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Compulsory licensing of patents in crisis situations

EFPIA · filed 28 Apr 2022 · source

The substantial investment in R&D by multiple actors over many years into novel technologies, vaccine, therapeutic and other products now available to address Covid-19 would not have occurred without the robust IP system in the EU and elsewhere. IP protections, particularly patents, has provided the legal framework and incentive for the high risk, high-cost investment underpinning the response to the pandemic.

CNCPI · filed 29 Apr 2022 · source

The CNCPI, a body set up by the French Intellectual Property Code and representing the regulated liberal profession of all French patent agents, thanked the European Commission for the opportunity to participate in this call for contributions and welcomed its willingness to consult with a view to possible legislative work on compulsory patent licences.

EFPIA · filed 28 Jul 2023 · source

In its Compulsory Licensing (CL) proposal, the European Commission (EC) posits a new EU-wide CL for crisis response. This harms IP rights and is a dramatic expansion of the ECs role into Member State (MS) remit, where viable CL provisions already exist. CLs are a last resort, all attempts at voluntary licensing having failed.

Supplementary protection certificate for plant protection products. Recast

EFPIA · filed 30 Mar 2022 · source

Bringing new therapies to patients is a long, complex and risky process that requires long-term and continuous investments. Patents are critical to that purpose and to the EU’s innovation and industrial ambitions.
