4iP Council will present “The English Torpedo? Interim Global SEP Licences, Territoriality and Defensive Anti-Interference in Europe, on 29 June 2026, from 16:00–17:00 CEST,.
The webinar will explore a highly topical and complex issue: how English courts have developed a practice of issuing provisional worldwide FRAND licences before foreign courts have ruled on infringement, validity, or remedies in standard-essential patent (SEP) disputes.
During this session, experts Dr. Niccolò Galli (European University Institute) and Prof. Giacomo Pailli (Università di Palermo), moderated by Axel Ferrazzini, will examine recent cases involving companies such as Panasonic and Acer. The discussion will explore whether this emerging British approach, and the subsequent responses from courts across Europe, risk becoming priority-seising tools rather than protective measures. The speakers will also present a proposed framework based on consent, jurisdiction, security, and proportionality.
This webinar will be of particular interest to professionals working in intellectual property, licensing, innovation management, and technology transfer who wish to better understand the evolving European SEP and FRAND landscape.
This course gives an in-depth understanding on managing contract portfolio, including research contracts, license agreements, and other collaboration agreements.
