“Back in April in the High Court in London, Justice Colin Birss issued the UK’s first-ever FRAND/SEP-related decision in the Unwired Planet v Huawei case. The detailed reasoning that Birss provided in his judgment, as well as the FRAND rates that he set out and his willingness to grant the NPE an injunction, attracted attention from dealmakers across the world – and offered out the prospect of the UK becoming a more favoured forum in which FRAND/SEP disputes might be decided.
Now, Justice Birss has followed up his initial decision with another one that deals in more detail with the injunction that Unwired Planet is entitled to. Here Bristows partner Pat Treacy and associate Francion Brooks look at what the judge described as a ‘FRAND injunction’ and how it might be applied.”
