Transceiver - Winter 2019

Welcome to the Winter edition of Transceiver, the newsletter from Taylor Wessing focusing on key issues and developments regarding standards and patents for businesses operating in the technology and communications sectors.

In this edition of Transceiver, we take an in-depth look at the Sisvel v Wiko case, which serves as a useful reminder that despite stricter requirements regarding non-discrimination and transparency for SEP holders, injunctions are still available to plaintiffs in SEP cases before German courts. Elsewhere, we examine two recent patent cases that provide interesting lessons for those operating in the Netherlands.

We hope you will find our newsletter interesting and helpful. If you would like to discuss or learn more about any of the topics we have covered, or have any feedback on this edition, please contact one of the team.
