The research paper aims to analyse each of such contemporary issues that’s prevailing regarding the production and supply of the covid vaccines and aims to evaluate whether the compulsory licensing would cope-up to act as a life-saving step against the existing pandemic. The issue here is the patent holders who are not coming voluntarily to grant license to third parties for manufacturing such patented COVID vaccines.
