Patent Limitations

Patent Limitations is a legal doctrine within international patent law that specifies the statutorily defined exceptions or constraints on the exclusive rights conferred by a patent, distinguishing it from broader patent enforcement mechanisms by circumscribing the scope of protection in the interest of public policy, competition, and access to knowledge.
