Recently, companies outside the telecommunications sector have been receiving patent notices of hostile licencing offers and, in some cases, have even been sued.This practical course aims at showing what a recipient of a FRAND licencing request should do to avoid receiving an injunction.
Obtaining patent notices for standardessential patents (SEPs) and negotiating patent licences that have to be 'fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory' (FRAND) are already an integral part of the daily operations of companies in the telecommunications and car manufacturing industry.
Such activities are now also becoming increasingly common in companies in other industries: Smart-Home, Smart-Metering, Streaming, Stromtanken and others - every networked product can be affected. They receive patent notices for hostile licence requestsor are even sued.
This practical seminar will teach participants how the recipient of a licencing request should act in order to avoid an injunction.
The speakers show how fast one needs to react, how patent royalty rates are assessed to be considered FRAND and how offers and contracts relating to the licencing of SEPs can be drafted.
After the seminar
A central element of this seminar is a case study with an actual licence request. This enables participants to gain practical experience of what they need to do the next time a FRAND licence request lands on their desks.
