Philips patent invalidated in SEP fight with HTC and AsusTek

The English High Court has held that a standard-essential patent (SEP) owned by technology company Philips is invalid, two months after it upheld the validity of another related SEP in the same dispute.

Mr Justice Arnold delivered his decision on Tuesday, July 10.

Philips accused two Taiwanese electronics companies, HTCand AsusTek, of infringing three European (UK) patents that it had declared essential to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s (ETSI) Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, a 3G standard.
