Court determined global licence determinations (interim and final) - cross border complexities

As part of London International Disputes Week (LIDW), Charles Russell Speechlys, Alston & Bird, Ira Law and Arnold Ruess invite you to a panel discussion examining recent developments and jurisdictional complexities in cross border global patent licensing disputes.

The session will explore the increasing willingness of the courts of England and Wales to determine the terms and value of global patent portfolio licences, including through interim licence declarations, and the implications this has had for related proceedings inother jurisdictions.

Following Unwired Planet v Huawei and subsequent decisions, disputes have intensifiedaround whether national courts can assume jurisdiction to make global licensingdeterminations without party consent. These developments have created significantstrategic and jurisdictional tensions, particularly where parallel proceedings are underway in jurisdictions such as the United States, India, Germany and before the Unified Patents Court.

Drawing on their experience advising on and litigating these matters across multiplejurisdictions, the panel will examine how this evolving case law is reshapingmultijurisdictional patent disputes and the practical challenges it presents for parties managing cross border litigation.

This session is particularly relevant for disputes lawyers, patent litigators, in‑house counsel and professionals managing cross‑border patent disputes where decisions taken in one jurisdiction can significantly affect strategy in another. It will also be of interest to those advising on global licensing negotiations, FRAND disputes and multijurisdictional litigation involving courts in the UK, Europe, the United States and Asia.
