The last seven days on IAM
On IAM this week, we reported on comments made by the chairman of Huawei about the company’s attitude to the FRAND licensing of its standards essential patents: it will not squeeze, extort or blackmail anyone, he promised – depending, we noted, on whether you read the Chinese original of his comments or its English translation. Over in the US, meanwhile, we reported on the growing momentum for legislative reform to tackle perceived inadequacies in the current patent eligibility statute, and further strong signs that the patent litigation market continues to decline.
