IPWatchdog Patent Litigation Masters™ 2024: Seeking FRAND: The Licensing and Litigation of SEPs
May 14, 2024
Mike Rader will speak on a panel titled “Seeking FRAND: The Licensing and Litigation of SEPs.” This panel will discuss:
- The evolution and future of FRAND licensing and litigation, as prominent SEP holders begin to focus on standards outside the cellular arena and attempt to initiate SEP negotiations with IoT developers.
- When can a SEP holder obtain a remedial order from the International Trade Commission (ITC)?
- What is the impact a SEP holder’s failure to satisfy a FRAND obligation has during enforcement proceedings?
- Should SEP holders be required to prove they have offered a FRAND rate, or should implementers have the burden to demonstrate the offer is a FRAND violation, and why?
- Recent decisions that have taken the view that FRAND obligations are not just limited to the SEP-holder, which require an implementer to negotiate in good faith or waive FRAND defenses.
