Article 11 of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (“TFEU”) prohibit quantitative restrictions on the free movement of goods. The EEA is monitored by the European Free Trade Area Court (“EFTA Court”) and the TFEU is monitored by the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”).

Despite attempts to harmonize intellectual property law across the 27-member European Union, this area of law remains a mix of national law and federal law. In regard to the possibility of compulsory licensing, challenges remain in the attempt to make law uniform. The Court of Justice of the European Union has struggled to balance national and federal interests on the issue of compulsory licensing of patents, trademarks, and copyrights largely by applying Articles 28, 30, 81, and 82 of the Treaty on European Union.
