LG wins first patent lawsuit against TCL, two more to go
LG filed three patent suits against TCL in November of 2019. The Mannheim Regional Court now ruled in favor of the South Korean tech giant. This particular suit was regarding the standard essential patent EP 2627146 B1.
This suit isn’t completely over just yet as TCL can appeal. Also, it is trying to have LG’s patent revoked with a nullity action that is currently pending at the German Federal Patent Court. For its part, LG is looking to immediately stop TCL from using its technology without a license.
As for the other two suites, the second one was heard on March 2, but the court hasn’t ruled yet. The third suit will take place in May.

any H.264-related patent royalties
The fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) royalty rate for Nokia s entire portfolio of video codec patents
allegedly essential to the H.264 standard may be
ZERO. Or at least not much more than that, unless Nokia stages an unprecedented turnaround in its SEP dispute with Chinese computer maker Lenovo.
When all is said and done, it s possible that a number of licensing executives in the industry will realize they shouldn t have met Nokia s H.264-related royalty demands: they should all have defended themselves like Lenovo. Now it s too late: license agreements generally don t allow a recovery of fees that could have been avoided by litigation. Don t feed the troll!
