Tesla won a UK Supreme Court appeal to revive its 2023 lawsuit against InterDigital and the Avanci licensing platform. The company seeks a court determination on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms for essential 5G patents.
The Supreme Court ruling reverses a lower court decision that previously dismissed the claim. Justices ruled that patent owners in a patent pool remain obligated to license technology on FRAND terms. The case now returns to the High Court for further proceedings.
