Antitrust Enforcement in the Licensing and Technology Arenas

Since mid-2012, there has been tremendous activity in anti-trust enforcement involving standards-essential patents, e.g., the FTC's consent decree in In re Robert Bosch GmbH and the FTC's proposed consent decree in In re Google, Inc. The balance of patent and antitrust regulation could be impacted by the U.S. Supreme Court's anticipated decision in a case this Term, FTC v. Watson Pharmaceuticals (dealing with reverse settlements). Private litigation could result in the first decisions on what is a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory royalty rate, with briefs submitted and decisions pending before at least two different district courts. Antitrust enforcement is expected to remain a high priority for regulators, and antitrust litigation involving standards is showing no signs of abating anytime soon. This session helps business executives and licensing counsel understand the evolving changes in antitrust regulation and emerging case law in patent licensing.
