Patent holdout is increasingly recognized by judges, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, as a growing obstacle to efficient licensing and a nuisance to the broader innovation ecosystem.

But, despite increased recognition of the problem, there’s still much to be done to stop implementers from delaying payment for the innovation they use in their devices.

This webinar will look at the recent evolution of holdout, its impact on innovation and licensing, and will also consider potential penalties for long-term infringers and possible solutions to the problem.

It will also discuss:

The asymmetry at the heart of SEP FRAND licensing.
