Review of FRAND: German Case Law and Global Developments

The January 2025 issues of Concurrences includes a very engaging review of FRAND:  German Case Law and Global Perspectives (Elgar Intellectual Property Law and Practice Series, 2024), the recent volume I was happy to contribute to, and edit, with Peter Picht and Erik Habich.  The author of the review (available in French and in English) is Rebekka Flamind, University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.  She provides a detailed overview of the book, concluding that it "stands out . . . for its depth of analysis and unique approach," and offers "an invaluable comparative perspective" that "[l]awyers, clients and academics alike will find . . . indispensable . . . for understanding not only the German approach, but also the global context of FRAND litigation. It is an essential reference work for all those involved in the field."

I also learned something it seems I should have known previously, but didn't:  that the French acronym for standard-essential patent is BEN (for brevets essentiels à une norme).
