(2016/C 335/09)
Language of the case: French
Applicant: Genentech Inc.
Defendants: Hoechst GmbH, Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH
Article 101(1) TFEU must be interpreted as not precluding the imposition on the licensee, under a licence agreement such as that at issue in the main proceedings, of a requirement to pay a royalty for the use of a patented technology for the entire period in which that agreement was in effect, in the event of the revocation or non-infringement of a licensed patent, provided that the licensee was able freely to terminate that agreement by giving reasonable notice.
