Rapid Reaction: The European Commission’s Proposed
Standard Essential Patents Regulation
The European Commission
(EC) announced its Proposed
Standard Essential Patents Regulation building on its 2020 IP Action plan, which
advocated for promoting transparency and predictability in SEP licensing. The European
Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) is to administer a new SEPs regime.
The aims to address key aspects of the FRAND debate, such as essentiality
checks, FRAND royalty rate determination and offer alternative dispute
mechanism services. To what extent does this represent a radical change to the
European IP landscape? Join us for a discussion as to what has prompted this
proposal, an assessment of its detail and a consideration of what the
implications might be.
