Intellectual Property Division Chair Michael Renaud was quoted by IAM in an article about the ITC case between Ericsson and Lenovo and its potential implications for FRAND negotiations. While most ITC cases involving Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) have resulted in no violation findings, this case could change that. 

Mike said, “This case is a chance for Ericsson to show that the ITC is open for business for all types of patents, SEP or otherwise. If the administrative law judge goes the way the ITC staff recommends, there could be more cases involving SEPs being adjudicated at the ITC.”
