Podcast: Optis v Apple – Recalibrating FRAND in the UK

In this episode, Richard Pinckney and Matthew Raynor unpack the Court of Appeal’s landmark decision in Optis v Apple, a judgment that reaffirms the UK’s approach to global FRAND licensing. They explore how the Court re-centred comparables analysis, revived the parties' valuation evidence, and addressed the tension between UK and US proceedings. 

How did the Court arrive at the $0.15 per unit royalty rate? Are top-down cross checks back in fashion? And what does this all mean for SEP litigation strategy in the UK? Tune in for analysis, context and key takeaways from one of the most important FRAND rulings in recent years.
