On FOSS Patents, Florian Mueller published a post titled Dusseldorf Regional Court virtually certain to refer
component-level standard-essential patent licensing questions to Court of
Justice of the EU: Nokia v. Daimler. This would
certainly be a major, but not unexpected development on the issue of
license-to-all versus access-to-all. Another interesting post, titled Germany's
most prominent patent judge disagrees with Mannheim court's Mercedes sales ban
on three out of four counts, discussing the views of Judge Thomas
Kühnen.

On IPKat, Barbara Mooij and Alexander de Leeuw published a post titled Keeping
up with Dutch patent litigation: Half-year case law review 2020.
The post discusses recent developments regarding attorneys' fees, preliminary
injunctions in SEP cases, and seizure orders, among other matters.

On Juve Patent, Mathieu Klos published a post titled No
major changes in second draft of newGerman patent legislation. I
still need to read the new
draft myself, and may have more to say about the provision on injunctions at
some point.

On SpicyIP, Swaraj Paul Barooah and Praharsh Gour have published the first in a
two-part series, titled Interim Injunctions: What’s the Damage? – A Summary.
Very informative, regarding the practice of the courts of India regarding
the granting of interim injunctions in patent cases.
Update: Part 2 of this series is now available here. It recommends, among other things, that Indian courts more frequently require plaintiffs to post a bond, and discusses parallel practices regarding compensation for wrongly granted injunctions in other jurisdictions (citing a couple of my posts along the way).

or Not?, addressing confusion among the Canadian courts regarding the
standard for granting an interlocutory injunction/stay pending appeal.
