What you'll learn
- A European government that needs a patented technology to sustain or expand defence production may face a proprietor who will not license on acceptable terms, or who cannot supply the volumes required.
- In December 2025 the European Union adopted a regulation creating a Union compulsory licence for patents in a crisis, but it expressly excluded defence-related products.
- The question is therefore answered by national law.
