No-Challenge Validity Clause in Patents License Agreements

According to the rules governing the legal system of intellectual property, every beneficiary has the right to challenge the validity of patents in competent authorities. Jurists, in response to the legitimacy of this right in license agreements, in addition to relying on the principle of contractual freedom, consider public interest and the rules of competition law. General Policy Reform Act of Principle 44 of the Constitution, while prohibiting the imposition of anti-competition clauses on the contract parties, assigns the determination of which to the Competition Council. The potential power of illegitimate incentives and the monopoly of licensors to create anxiety in American business seem so serious that judges express the deviation from the general rules and principles of the common law and Stoppel doctrine. Although formation of the Lear Doctrine in the American Legal System indicates the relative desirability of US judges' efforts to balance the general rules of contract at common law with public interest and anti-trust rules, it seems the most accurate way to determine the legitimacy of the clause is case study.
