23 According to the TRIPS Agreement, which one of the following statements about “patent rights conferred” is wrong?
(A) Where the subject matter of a patent is a product, third parties do not allow to make, use, offer for sale, sell, or import for these purposes that product without a patent owner’s consent.
(B) Where the subject matter of a patent is a process, there are no restrictions to third parties using the process and no limitations to use, offer for sale, sell, or import for these purposes at least the product obtained directly by that process.
(C) WTO members’ laws may consider the legitimate interests of third parties to provide limited exceptions to the exclusive rights conferred by a patent, provided that such exceptions do not unreasonably conflict with an ordinary use of the patent and do not fairly prejudice the legitimate interests of the patent owner.
(D) Patent owners have the right to transfer, or assign by succession, the patent and to make licensing contracts.
