ICLE cited in the 36Kr Europe piece on Tesla v. Avanci

A recent article by 36Kr Europe examines the Tesla v. InterDigital/Avanci dispute before the UK Supreme Court and cites ICLE among the intervenors in the case. The article highlights how the dispute over Avanci’s $32-per-vehicle 5G licensing rate raises questions about FRAND review and collective SEP licensing. Read the full piece here.

Organizations such as FSA, CCIA, ACT, MPA, and ICLE intervened, turning this case from a dispute solely between Tesla, InterDigital, and Avanci into a public discussion on the SEP patent pool system. FSA clearly stated that this case focuses on the Avanci 5G Vehicle pool, which is a 5G patent pool for connected vehicles; Avanci prefers to call it a “platform,” but FSA believes that what really matters is not the name, but the feature that multiple SEP holders license their patents collectively.
