Last Thursday I moderated a webinar titled "German FRAND Cases: the EC's Amicus Brief and Other Developments." The panelists included Peter Picht and Erik Habich, who along with me edited the recently-published volume "FRAND: German Case Law and Other Developments (Edward Elgar 2024) (see previous discussion on this blog here and here); Munich Regional Court Judge Hubertus Schacht and Lord Justice Richard Arnold of the Court of Appeal for England and Wales, both of whom contributed essays to the volume; and Professor Jorge Contreras. Discussion ranged from the use of amicus briefs or analogous practices in the EU, the U.K., and the U.S., to recent developments in FRAND litigation in Germany (where there are now two recent decisions responding to the EC's amicus brief; for previous discussion of the brief on this blog, see here and here) and the U.K. (Panasonic v. Xiaomi). The video is now up on the University of Minnesota's YouTube site, here.
