UK FRAND declarations and patent pools – Tesla v Avanci in the Court of Appeal
Patent litigators Richard Pinckney and Sam Harvey consider the position of patent pools (or platforms) in UK SEP/FRAND licensing disputes following the Court of Appeal’s judgment in Tesla v Avanci which found that Tesla’s claim for a declaration of the FRAND terms to a licence to Avanci’s 5G Platform had no real prospect of success. Note: This episode was recorded prior to the Court of Appeal handing down its judgment in Optis v Apple. (Originally recorded on 24.05.25).
