IP Experts LIVE: Webinar for IP Professionals
IP Experts LIVE is a webinar series by BARDEHLE PAGENBERG (see our program PDF).

What is it about?
The UPC issued its first FRAND decisions with Panasonic vs Oppo and Huawei vs Netgear in late 2024. These decisions carve out important cornerstones for the FRAND approach of the UPC, but many details are still open. In the meantime, the UK courts and the German national courts have also staked their claims in multi-jurisdictional SEP disputes with interim licenses on the one hand and injunctions on the other hand. In this webinar, our SEP experts Dr. Tilman Müller and Dr. Jan Bösing will analyze the latest developments on FRAND at the UPC and beyond. They will focus on:
- The FRAND defense at the UPC
- Principles of Panasonic vs Oppo and Huawei vs Netgear
- Differences between the two decisions
- What does it mean in practice for SEP owners and implementers
- Setting FRAND royalty rates at the UPC
- Competence of the UPC and its limitations
- The UPC’s approach on rate setting
- Recent German case law: VoiceAge vs HMD (Higher District Court Munich), ZTE vs. Samsung (Regional Court Munich I)
- Interim licenses vs. Anti-interim-license injunctions
- Courts vs EC Commission – how will the EU react?
