InterDigital v Lenovo - OxFirst webinar

It was an absolute pleasure to take part in this webinar alongside my friends and colleagues, Myles Jelf and Sophie Lawrance. In particular, it was great to delve into the key FRAND principles explored by Mr Justice Mellor, his guidance on licence unpacking (objectivity is the name of the game in his view), and some particularly interesting views on past sales. 

We then go deeper into the comparables exercise conducted by the court, the particular factual matrix that meant Lenovo gained an upper hand in the selection of licences (there was no evidence any of them should be ignored because of hold-out, and they related to similar sized entities to Lenovo itself), and how the court got to its final landing zone. A few key take-aways rounded off the discussion.
