A patent holder shall enjoy the exclusive right to use the protected item of industrial property in her discretion.

1.专利权人享有使用受保护工业产权客体的专有权。

The exclusive right to use the protected item of industrial property may be exercised by the patent holder within the effective period of the protection document as of the date of the notice of the protection document publication in the official bulletin.

自保护文件在官方公报中公布之日起，专利权人可以在保护文件的有效期内行使使用受保护的工业产权客体的专有权。

Use of an industrial property item shall include manufacture, exploitation, importation, offer for sale, sale, other introduction into the civil turnover or storage for such purposes of a product containing a protected item of industrial property, as well as using a protected process.

2.工业产权客体的使用应当包括制造、利用、进口、要约出售、销售和以其他方式将含有受保护的工业产权客体的产品引入民事交易或储存领域，以及使用受保护的工艺。

A product shall be deemed to contain a protected invention or utility model, and the process shall be deemed usable if the product contains or the process uses every element of the invention or utility model cited in an independent item of the invention or utility model claim, or an equivalent thereof, included into the relevant prior art at the time of its first use.

如果产品包含或工艺使用发明或实用新型独立权利要求项中引用的发明或实用新型的每一个元素或者其同等元素在初次使用时已经包含在相关现有技术中，则该产品应当被视为包含受保护的发明或实用新型，该工艺应当被视为具备可用性。

Use of a protected process shall mean introducing into the civil turnover or storage for such purpose of a product manufactured through this process.

使用受保护的工艺是指出于此目的，将经过该工艺生产的产品引入民事流通或储存领域中。

A product shall be deemed to contain a protected industrial design, should this product display every distinctive feature owned by the image (model) of the respective article of manufacture listed as its distinctive feature.

如果产品显示其相应制品的图像（模型）所具备的、被列为其区别特征的每一个区别特征，则该产品应当被视为包含受保护的工业品外观设计。

The patent holder shall be obliged to use the item of industrial property.

3.专利权人有义务使用该项工业产权。

The right to use an item of industrial property, protected by the document held by more than one party shall be determined by an agreement between the parties. In the absence of an agreement, each of the patent holders may use the protected object at her own discretion, but may neither license nor assign the protection document without the consent of the other patent holders.

若保护文件由超过一方持有，则该文件项下的工业产权客体的使用权由各方协商确定。在未达成一致的情况下，每个专利权人可以自行决定使用受保护客体，但未经其他专利权人同意，不得许可或转让保护文件。

The patent holder may mark the item of industrial property with a warning of its being patented.

专利权人可以在工业产权客体上注明警告：该项工业产权已授予专利。

Should the holder of a patent to an item of industrial property fail to use such an item or license it on commercially acceptable terms, any party may sue for a compulsory non-exclusive license alleging a lack of continuous use for the four years as of the first notice of the protection document issuance preceding the suit. Should the patent holder fail to show an excuse for non-use, the court shall grant the license determining its scope and term, as well as the amount of the license fee and the terms of payment. The fee may not be lower than the customary amount established in the ordinary course of business.

4.如果某项工业产权的专利权人未能使用该项目，或按照商业有效条款对该项目授予许可，则任何一方均可以向法院声明专利权人自诉讼前第一次发出保护文件通知之日起四年内没有持续使用该项目，并要求获得强制非专有许可。如果专利权人未能提供不使用的理由，法院应授予工业产权许可，确定范围和期限，以及许可费的金额和支付条件。许可费不得低于在正常业务过程中确定的惯例金额。

A compulsory license shall be primarily granted in order to satisfy the demands of the internal market of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

授予强制许可的主要目的是满足哈萨克斯坦共和国国内市场的需求。

The holder of a compulsory license may assign the right to use the item of industrial property to another party only as part of the enterprise where the item is used.

强制许可持有人可以将某项工业产权的使用权转让给另一方，但前提是该企业已在使用该项工业产权。

A compulsory license may be judicially revoked due to the termination of the cause for its issuance.

强制许可可能因颁发理由的终止而被依法撤销。

The patent holder unable to use an item of industrial property without infringing the rights of the holder of another protection document to the item of industrial property who has declined an offer to enter into a license agreement on acceptable commercial terms, may sue for a compulsory non-exclusive license to use the item of industrial property in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

5.如果另一保护文件持有人拒绝基于适当的商业条款签订许可协议，专利权人对工业产权客体的使用必然会侵犯该另一保护文件持有人的权利，则专利权人可以向法院起诉，请求获得在哈萨克斯坦共和国使用该工业产权客体的强制非专有许可。

Should the patent holder unable to use the item of industrial property without infringing the rights of the holder of another protection document show his item of industrial property to be a significant technical achievement of great economic value in comparison to the item of industrial property owned by the holder of another protection document, the court may grant a compulsory non-exclusive license to the claimant.

如果专利权人对工业产权客体的使用必然会侵犯另一保护文件持有人的权利，在表明其工业产权客体是具有巨大经济价值的重大技术成果之后（与另一保护文件持有人拥有的工业产权客体相比），法院可以向申请人授予强制非专有许可。

The court granting the said compulsory license, shall determine the scope and the term of the use of the protected item of industrial property, owned by another party, as well as the amount of the license fee and the terms of payments. The fee may not be lower than the customary amount established in the ordinary course of business.

在授予上述强制许可后，法院应确定另一方拥有的受保护工业产权的使用范围和期限，以及许可费的金额和支付条件。许可费不得低于在正常业务过程中确定的惯例金额。

The right to use the item of industrial property, acquired pursuant to this clause may only be assigned along with the protection document for the item of industrial property being the subject of the respective licensed right.

根据本条款获得工业产权客体的使用权的，只能将该使用权与作为各自许可权客体的工业产权客体保护文件一起转让。

In case of issuance of a compulsory license pursuant to this clause the holder of the protection document licensing the respective right may obtain a license to use the dependent invention being the subject of the compulsory license.

在本条款颁发强制许可的情况下，许可相关权利的专利权人可以获得被强制许可对象的从属发明的许可。

The patent holder may assign the issued protection document to an individual or a legal entity. The assignment agreement shall be registered by the competent authority.

6.专利权人可以将颁发的保护文件转让给个人或法人。应在主管部门办理转让协议的登记手续。

The registration of an agreement of assignment of the protection document or of the right to obtain such document shall be subject to the result of an examination of the required materials by the expert organization.

1.工业产权客体的优先权应自依照本法第17（3）条、第18（3）条或第19（3）条确定的工业产权客体的专利申请之日起确定。

The priority date may be that of filing the first application in a member state of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property or with a conventionally stipulated international or regional organization (convention priority), should an application for an invention or utility model be filed with the expert organization within twelve months of the said date or an application for an industrial design be filed within six months of the said date. Should an applicant be unable to file for a convention priority within the aforementioned period due to reasons beyond her control, the term may be prolonged up to two months.

The priority may be established as of the date of the same applicant filing with the expert organization an earlier application claiming the item of industrial property, unless the earlier application has been withdrawn or deemed to be withdrawn by the date of filing the application wherefore the priority is sought, provided the application is filed within twelve months of an earlier invention application, or six months of an earlier utility model or industrial design application. In this case the earlier application shall be deemed withdrawn.
