Earlier this month, as a judgment loomed in a Unified Patent Court (UPC) action filed by patent owner Huawei against implementer NETGEAR, the defendant asked a US court to bar Huawei from enforcing a potential injunction against it. The motion was the first to ever seek an anti-suit injunction (ASI) targeting the UPC, and the first request for an interim license (sought in the alternative) from a US court in a standard essential patent (SEP) suit. Now, as a hearing approaches in the US case over another motion related to fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory (FRAND) licensing, the UPC’s Munich Local Division (Munich LD) has issued its final merits decision. That opinion, the second ever issued by the UPC in a FRAND case, imposed an injunction against NETGEAR over certain Wi-Fi 6 routers and further clarified the SEP licensing principles first established by the Mannheim Local Division (Mannheim LD) in late November.
