In this special edition of the IPWatchdog Unleashed, Gene Quinn and his German counterparts discuss a recent major development at the Unified Patent Court (UPC) relating to Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) and injunctions. Featuring industry experts Dr. Tobias Wuttke, Arie Tol, and Dr. Tilman Müller, the conversation dives into the background of the case that lead to the first, final, permanent injunction being awarded in a standard essential patent (SEP) case at the UPC. We discuss the landmark ruling in Philips v. Belkin, which solidified the UPC's stance on providing permanent injunctions to victorious patent owners. The panel explores potential implications for patent owners, how the FRAND negotiation process is and was handled, geographical jurisdiction issues, and the benefits and risks associated with litigating in the UPC.
