Injunctions in Patent Litigation Following the CJEU Huawei v ZTE Ruling (Germany)

Nadine Herrmann addresses Injunctions in Patent Litigation Following the CJEU Huawei v ZTE Ruling (Germany).

ABSTRACT:In its landmark Huawei ruling, the CJEU established a process-driven framework that market-dominating holders of standard-essential patents (SEPs) must follow to preserve their right to an injunction against unlicensed implementers of the patented technology. The new 'Huawei rules' effectively replace the previous 'Orange Book Standard' in German SEP litigation.
