In setting rules governing intellectual property rights (IPR), legislators must strike a balance between the needs of inventors to control exploitation of their new knowledge and the needs of the users, including consumers and potential competitors, to benefit as much as possible from its use. The instrument "compulsory licensing" is a means to find this "appropriate" balance.

In the ongoing discussion to what extent it is desirable that other fields of law limit IPR and to what extent justifications for these limitations seem legitimate, this dissertation assesses if the exclusivity right of IPR owners may be subordinated to environmental objectives of the European Union, notably to combat Climate Change.
