Injunctive Relief for Standard-Essential Patents

Much attention has been given lately to the question of whether injunctive relief should be permitted when a party is found to infringe a Standard-Essential Patent (SEP). Both the International Trade Commission and federal district courts have considered the issue and arrived at differing conclusions. The United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division and the United States Patent and Trademark Office have also weighed in on the issue.
