New technologies are often protected by Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) and these can be found in HiTech, telecoms, IoT and autonomous technologies. Today, devices are increasingly interconnected leading to more and more standards adopted by Standards Developing Organizations (e.g. ITU, ETSI). Any industrial sector can now be impacted by standardisation and thus by SEPs. The technology industry relies heavily on FRAND patent licensing arrangements, which may raise antitrust issues and are resulting in greater prevalence of FRAND-related disputes . Earlier this year, the European Commission published the SEPs Expert Group’s report on licensing and valuation of SEPs.
Join us as we discuss:
- The recent dispute between Nokia and Daimler for the use of Nokia's mobile patents by the German carmaker, and questions referred before the CJEU which will remain unanswered due to the settlement by the parties. Discussion of issues that, as a result, remain to be clarified.
- What it means to grant a license under FRAND terms: the obligations on SEP owners, implementers and users.
- How and when “essentiality” is implicated.
- Antitrust issues at the centre of FRAND cases and how these issues have influenced decisions.
- The view from the EU and US – a comparison of the transatlantic landscape and ASI, AASI and AAASI risks.
The session will conclude with Q&A and we would welcome you to join in a discussion with peers across multiple industries.
