I'm still hoping to have some thoughts of my own on this case ready for posting by the end of the week, but for now I would like to call readers' attention to a free OxFirst webinar taking place this Friday, March 24, at 3:30 p.m. London Time, titled "Rapid Reaction: InterDigital v Lenovo FRAND Insights on the decision of the High Court of England and Wales." Here is the description:
The High Court of England and Wales has considered FRAND issues in detail again in InterDigital v Lenovo [2022] EWHC 539 (Pat). In another landmark decision following Lord Justice Birss’ ruling in Unwired Planet, the judgment considers a number of significant but presently unanswered legal issues in the FRAND space. In addition to what would constitute a FRAND licence to the InterDigital SEP portfolio for Lenovo, the decision also covers the selection of comparable licences in a court-led FRAND analysis; issues of discounts for past sales; the relevance of party willingness to a FRAND determination; the usefulness or not of a top-down analysis; past sales and the relevance of litigation limitation periods. In this commentary, Bristows will discuss the key arguments advanced in the case, the decision and any questions left unanswered.
Speakers include Sophie Lawrence, Myles Jelf, and Luke Maunder. Registration is available here.
