On Thursday 13 March 2025, our cross-border experts Richard Vary, Dr. Katharina Pehle, Katharine Stephens, Peter van Gemert, Tjibbe Douma and Christine Yiu, ran a live webinar delving into the shifting landscape of Standard Essential Patent (SEP) litigation, covering the significance of the first two FRAND cases to be heard by the UPC and providing thoughts on how the court might develop its approach; the game-changer that the UK’s Court of Appeal decisions on interim licences will be on FRAND cases worldwide; recent decisions from the German courts with advice on how parties should negotiate in order to be FRAND-compliant and, from China, key developments in the regulatory landscape for SEPs and the landmark decision from the Supreme People’s Court in ACT v Oppo.
