Appeal. (1) A petitioner who is aggrieved by a decision of the registrar to register a licence contract may appeal against the decision of the registrar to the court within two months after the registrar’s refusal to register the licence contract. (2) The grounds of an appeal under this section shall be limited to the following— (a) that the decision of refusal contains no statement of the reasons for the refusal; (b) that none of the reasons specified in the decision is valid under this Act or that the reason was wrongly applied to the petitioner or to the licence contract; or (c) that the procedure applied by the registrar was irregular and prejudicial to the rights of the petitioner. 58. Compulsory licences for non-working and similar reasons. (1) After the expiration of four years from the filing date of an application or three years from the grant of a patent, whichever last expires, a person may apply to the Minister for a licence to exploit the patented invention on the grounds that the market for the patented invention is not being supplied, or is not being supplied on reasonable terms, in Uganda. (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), a non-voluntary licence shall not be granted if the owner of the patent satisfies the Minister that circumstances exist which justify the fact that the market for the patented invention is not being supplied, or is not being supplied on reasonable terms, in Uganda. 54
