Lenovo wins the resumption of fighting in the UK with Ericsson for the temporary patent license

LONDON (Reuters) – Lenovo won a prize in Britain on Friday in its attempt to obtain a temporary license to use patents in Ericsson, in the last ruling in the global licensing conflict of 5G wireless technology.

Lenovo filed a lawsuit against Ericsson at the Supreme Court in London in 2023, one of the many cases of Lenovo or Ericsson all over the world, which witnessed that companies traded lawsuits in Brazil, Colombia and the United States.

Disputes focus on the terms of patents and patents in Lenovo and Ericsson. Conflicts on Frand’s license led to global legal battles in the telecommunications industry.

In London, Lenovo sought an advertisement that the borrowed license would approve a short -term license pending the final decision of Frand’s terms.

Its application was rejected last year, but the Court of Appeal canceled this decision on Friday.

Judge Richard Arnold said in a written ruling that “the borrowed license in the position of Ericsson will enter into a temporary license with Lenovo,” he said, adding that he hopes Erikson now will do so.

Lenovo’s chief legal officials in Lenovo said that “the ruling is not only confirmed that Lenovo is not willing, but also enhances and reaffirms our commitment to the call for transparency and fairness in the Frand Global License.”

Ericsson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
