The European Commission has filed an amicus curiae brief – a legal instrument more known from US law – with the Higher Regional Court of Munich regarding an ongoing legal dispute between HMD Global Oy and VoiceAge EVS GmbH & Co KG over the alleged use of standard essential patents (SEPs). The European Commission is of the view that the German courts’ interpretation of the landmark decision of the CJEU in re Huawei/ZTE is manifestly wrong and should be revisited.

Together with Alexander Haertel (Cluster Lead Patent Deutsche Telekom) and Dr Andreas Kramer (Partner Vossius & Brinkhof), attorney-at-law Philipp Rastemborski, LL.M. discusses the potential implications of the European Commission's amicus curiae brief and speculates on the impact it could have on future judgements from Munich.

The webinar will take place on 17 September 2024 at 4 pm (CET) and is free of charge. Further information and registration can be found here.
