Patent action in which the claimant’s patents are said to be, and are now accepted to be, standard essential patents for the purposes of operating mobile phone handsets in the 3G and 4G standards. Philips alleges infringement against the third to seventh defendants, and claims the usual relief claimed by patentees in respect of infringement but has declared itself willing to grant a licence on FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) terms in order to enable the allegedly infringing defendants to avoid those consequences of infringement.
