    Abstract
    On November 8, 2017, the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California issued its TCL v. Ericsson decision which determined fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory (FRAND) royalty rates for standard-essential patent (SEP) portfolios using both analysis of Ericsson’s comparable licenses and a “topdown” patent counting approach. The ruling is expected to have significant implications on future SEP licenses and on multinational litigation.

    Patent owners and implementers must keep themselves abreast of the current and imminent developments to effectively manage SEPs and to ensure FRAND compliance.

    This course offers an overview of the latest trends and best practices with respect to FRAND commitments in light of TCL v. Ericsson. A panel of thought leaders and practitioners brought together by The Knowledge Group will help firms better understand the legal implications of the ruling and will offer helpful insights on avoiding common pitfalls and risk issues.

    Key topics include:
    • FRAND: Recent Trends and Developments
    • TCL v. Ericsson: Key Takeaways
    • Implications and Risk Issues
    • What Now?
    • Best Compliance Practices
