Ericsson Knocks Out Decision on FRAND Methodology in Patent Dispute
The Federal Circuit rules that the wireless giant is entitled to a jury trial over infringement of its standard-essential patents. The decision wipes out a 2017 bench trial in which U.S. District Judge James Selna had established the "top-down" methodology for evaluating SEPs.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Thursday handed a big win to wireless giant Ericsson but disappointed intellectual property lawyers eager for more guidance on litigating standard-essential patents.
A unanimous panel of the Washington, D.C.-based appellate court threw out a 115-page order from U.S. District Judge James Selna of the Central District of California. Following a closely watched 10-day bench trial in 2017, Selna established a new framework for determining fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory royalties for SEPs.
