Abstract
Unwired Planet v Huawei is the first case decided in the EU that comprehensively deals with FRAND-related issues and competition concerns in disputes involving standard-essential patent (SEP) licensing. In the process, it deals with previously unresolved issues. As per this decision, there can only be one set of terms which are FRAND. The manner in which the court has proceeded with the ambitious task of determining a global FRAND royalty rate sets out a methodological approach towards the same. An injunction may be granted in case of infringement by the implementer and its subsequent refusal to accept a licence determined to be FRAND by the court. The court also dealt with allegations of abuse of dominance against the SEP holder
