Haiwen Assisted TCL in Reaching Settlement in China's First SEP Pool Royalty Setting / Antitrust Disputes
TCL與Access Advance LLC就視頻編解碼HEVC/H.265標(biāo)準(zhǔn)必要專利（SEP）達成全球?qū)＠卦S可協(xié)議。TCL作為全球消費電子行業(yè)的知名企業(yè)及HEVC/H.265標(biāo)準(zhǔn)必要專利的實施人，與全球視頻編解碼技術(shù)領(lǐng)域著名專利池管理企業(yè)Access Advance達成合作。在此之前，TCL與Access Advance及其專利池成員（包括杜比、通用電氣、飛利浦、三菱電機、JVCKenwood、NEC、ETRI、IP Bridge等）圍繞HEVC/H.265標(biāo)準(zhǔn)必要專利許可展開談判多年，因未能達成一致，曾在中國、德國、巴西、歐洲統(tǒng)一專利法院等多個司法轄區(qū)發(fā)生數(shù)十起訴訟，包括在中國針對專利池提起的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)必要專利使用費糾紛和濫用市場支配地位糾紛兩起訴訟。隨著雙方達成和解，歷時多年的上述許可糾紛隨即畫上了句號。
TCL reached a global patent pool licensing agreement with Access Advance LLC concerning Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) for the HEVC/H.265 video codec standard. As a prominent player in the global consumer electronics industry and an implementer of HEVC/H.265 SEPs, TCL has entered collaboration with Access Advance, a globally renowned administrator of SEP pools in the video codec technology domain. Previously, TCL had engaged in negotiations for many years with Access Advance and its pool members including Dolby, GE, Philips, Mitsubishi Electric, JVCKenwood, NEC, ETRI, and IP Bridge – regarding the licensing of HEVC/H.265 SEPs. However, the parties were unable to reach a consensus, which led to multiple litigations in jurisdictions such as China, Germany, Brazil, and the Unified Patent Court. These included two lawsuits filed in China against the patent pool, addressing disputes over SEP royalty setting and alleged abuse of market dominance. With the settlement between the parties, the prolonged licensing disputes have now reached a resolution.
海問團隊全程代理TCL處理了中國境內(nèi)的兩起訴訟，這兩起訴訟是中國首例請求法院判決專利池全球許可費率的訴訟和針對標(biāo)準(zhǔn)必要專利池的反壟斷訴訟，也是全球首次法院確認(rèn)對專利池全球許可費率及其涉嫌壟斷行為具有管轄權(quán)，因此被視為SEP領(lǐng)域標(biāo)志性的案件。
Haiwen team represented TCL throughout these two cases in China, which marked China's first litigation requesting a judicial decision on a global SEP royalty rate for a patent pool, as well as the first antitrust litigation against a SEP pool. Furthermore, they were the first cases globally in which a court affirmed its jurisdiction over the global royalty rate setting of a SEP pool and its potential monopolistic conduct, inevitably making them landmark cases in the SEP field.
隨著標(biāo)準(zhǔn)必要專利許可生態(tài)的發(fā)展，專利池在許可活動中發(fā)揮著越來越重要的作用，也引起越來越多的關(guān)注和討論。在此過程中，大量有關(guān)反壟斷和知識產(chǎn)權(quán)交叉領(lǐng)域的前沿性問題，有待在實踐中不斷厘清，從而在專利池一攬子許可這一新的場景下，為“公平合理無歧視”（FRAND）原則賦予更有針對性、更具實操性的內(nèi)涵。
As the ecosystem for SEP licensing evolves, patent pools are playing an increasingly significant role in licensing activities, sparking growing attention and debate. In this process, numerous pioneering issues at the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property remain to be clarified in practice, aiming to impart the "Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory" (FRAND) principle with a more targeted and practical significance within the novel context of patent pool licensing.
在上述兩起案件中，海問團隊的負責(zé)合伙人為錢曉強，項目主要成員包括合伙人張宇識、資深顧問楊壹凱、律師籍婷等。
In the two cases, Haiwen team was led by Partner QIAN Xiaoqiang, with key team members including Partner ZHANG Yushi, Senior Counsel YANG Yikai, and Attorney JI Ting.
