Article 78. If the country is at war or in danger of war, the Government, when called for in the public interest, may prescribe that the right to a specific invention shall be surrendered to the State or to another party designated by the Government. A reasonable compensation shall be paid for the right to the invention thus surrendered. If no agreement on the compensation can be reached with the party entitled to compensation, the Court shall fix the compensation.
If a party other than the State has availed itself of the right to an invention pursuant to the first Paragraph and if the party does not fulfil its obligations with regard to compensation, the State shall be obliged to pay the said compensation as soon as this is requested by the party entitled to the compensation.
Article 79. Special provisions apply to inventions of importance for the defence of the country.
