Advanced Patent Law and Litigation: Developments in Standard Essential Patent (SEP) Litigation

As the Internet-of-Things leads to more connected devices, more and more industries and product categories will contend with standard essential patents (SEPs) and the licensing obligations relating to them. In this on-demand seminar, Faegre Drinker Partner David Gross looks at the latest developments relating to both asserting and defending against SEPs, as well as how different courts view the FRAND licensing commitment and how courts internationally have addressed the conflicts that can ensue when SEP litigation is pursued in multiple jurisdictions at the same time. Finally, David explores the recent trends in the US relating to damages and injunctions involving SEPs, as well as initial indications about how the Biden administration is approaching open questions involving SEPs.
