Guided answer

Can I get a compulsory licence, or resist one?

Section 84 lets a person interested ask the Controller for a licence under someone else's patent, but only on specific grounds and after specific steps.

Has it been three years since the patent was granted?

Not sure whether this applies to your invention?

The honest answer usually needs someone to look at your actual disclosure, your timeline and the prior art. That is a conversation, not an article.
