Lenovo today announced that the UK High Court has ruled in Lenovo¡¯s favor in the ongoing litigation with InterDigital regarding license rates for 3G, 4G, and 5G patents. This judgement reinforces the company¡¯s continued commitment as a willing licensee and validates the license rate Lenovo advocated for.
This is a landmark decision of a Court establishing a modern global FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, and Non-discriminatory) rate for Standard Essential Patents (SEP).
Lenovo¡¯s John Mulgrew, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel & Chief Intellectual Property Officer, welcomes the decision as follows:
¡°Lenovo thanks the Court for its judgment in InterDigital v. Lenovo. We see this as a major win for the technology industry and the customers we serve, as it underscores both the importance of fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms for patent licensing and the requirement of transparency by patent holders engaged in licensing practices.
We are grateful for the Court¡¯s careful and objective analysis of the cellular patent licensing history between InterDigital and others, supporting its determination that InterDigital¡¯s global cellular royalty rate should be $0.175 per unit. With this judgment, the Court has confirmed that Lenovo is, and always has been, a willing licensee - even in the face of InterDigital¡¯s supra-FRAND offers and behavior as an unwilling licensor.
In the meantime, we are pleased that this judgment reinforces FRAND¡¯s critical role in facilitating transparent and equitable licensing practices for standardized technologies - enabling the proliferation of affordable innovation to customers around the world.¡±
The full judgement will be available on the National Archive website later today under case number is HP-2019-000032.
