which a patent holder, contractor, exclusive licensee, or assignee has
acquired title under this title, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall have the right to establish other use of the subject
matter of the patent without authorization of the right holder if the
Secretary makes the determination described in subsection (b).
''(b) Determination.--The determination of the Secretary of Health
and Human Services referred to in subsection (a) is a determination
that--
''(1) the patent holder, contractor, licensee, or assignee
referred to in subsection (a) has not taken, or is not expected
to take within a reasonable time, effective steps to achieve
practical application of the subject invention in a field of
use;
''(2) such compulsory license is necessary to alleviate
health or safety needs which are not adequately satisfied by
the patent holder, contractor, licensee, or assignee; or

''(c) Factors in Authorizing Other Use.--In exercising the right
under subsection (a) to authorize other use of the subject matter of a
patent, the following shall apply:
''(1) Authorization of such use shall be considered on its
individual merits.
''(2) Such use may only be permitted if, prior to such use,
the proposed user has made efforts to obtain authorization from
the right holder on reasonable commercial terms and conditions
and that such efforts have not been successful within a
reasonable period of time. This requirement may be waived in
the case of a national emergency or other circumstances of
extreme urgency or in cases of public noncommercial use. In
situations of national emergency or other circumstances of
extreme urgency, the right holder shall, nevertheless, be
notified as soon as reasonably practicable. In the case of
public noncommercial use, where the Government or (if
applicable) a contractor of the Government, without making a
patent search, knows or has demonstrable grounds to know that a
valid patent is or will be used by or for the Government, the
right holder shall be informed promptly.

part of the enterprise or goodwill which enjoys such use.
''(5) Authorization for such use shall be liable, subject
to adequate protection of the legitimate interests of the
persons so authorized, to be terminated if and when the
circumstances which led to it cease to exist and are unlikely
to recur. The competent authority shall have the authority to
review, upon appropriate request, the continued existence of
such circumstances.
''(6) The right holder shall be paid adequate remuneration
in the circumstances of each case, taking into account the
economic value of the authorization.
''(7) The legal validity of any decision relating to the
authorization of such use shall be subject to judicial review
or other independent review by a distinct Federal authority.
''(8) Any decision relating to the remuneration provided in
respect of such use shall be subject to judicial review or
other independent review by a distinct Federal authority.
''(9) The condition set forth in paragraph (2) is not
applicable where such use is permitted to remedy a practice
determined after judicial or administrative process to be
anticompetitive. The need to correct anticompetitive practices
may be taken into account in determining the amount of
remuneration in such cases. The competent authorities shall
have the authority to refuse termination of authorization if
and when the conditions which led to such authorization are
likely to recur.
''(10) Where such use is authorized to permit the
exploitation of a patent ('the 2nd patent') which cannot be
exploited without infringing another patent ('the 1st patent'),
the following additional conditions shall apply:
''(A) The invention claimed in the 2nd patent shall
involve an important technical advance of considerable
economic significance in relation to the invention
claimed in the 1st patent.
''(B) The owner of the 1st patent shall be entitled
to a cross-license on reasonable terms to use the
invention claimed in the 2nd patent.
''(C) The use authorized in respect of the 1st
patent shall be nonassignable except with the
assignment of the 2nd patent.

and internationally, including the costs of research and development,
sufficient to assess the reasonableness of that pricing, in accordance
with specifications developed by the Secretary of Commerce in

(b) Disqualification From Participation in Federal Programs as
Penalty for Noncompliance.--In the case of a person who the Secretary
of Commerce determines has failed to submit a report required under
subsection (a) on a timely basis, the person shall be ineligible to
receive payment from the Federal Government or under any Federal
program (including under the medicare and medicaid programs) for any
