More than seven years after the same court referred several questions of EU antitrust law relating to SEP injunctions to the bloc's top court in Luxembourg, another referral--and what follows may even be an understatement--looms large: the questions recently raised by the Bundeskartellamt (Federal Cartel of Office of Germany), or at least a largely similar set of questions concerning a SEP holder's duty to grant exhaustive licenses to component makers, will apparently be sent to… [read post]
