This webinar is the second event in our series on the European Union’s (EU) evolving framework for standard-essential patents (SEPs). Our panel will discuss important aspects about the determination of the essentiality, validity, and infringement of declared SEPs, and recent proposals concerning, for example, establishing a system of SEP essentially checks. We will particularly focus on how these issues may affect small innovative businesses and approach the EU could consider to address SEP abuse.
