After passing the detailed judgment, Justice Bansal expressed his appreciation for the counsel who appeared for both Ericsson and LAVA.
He appreciated the work done by Aman Sinha, the Law Researcher for the Intellectual Property Division of the High Court, in facilitating the understanding of complex patents involved in the case and FRAND licensing.
Justice Bansal also acknowledged the contribution of his Law Researcher Palak Batra for her “research, assistance and insightful inputs in the course of this case”.
In the end, the judge said that through his judgment, he has reaffirmed the principles of patent law as they have evolved in India to encourage innovation, while aiming to ensure requisite protection for the intrinsic worth of inventions.
“In my considered view, this case has highlighted the importance of maintaining a balance between protecting fair access to standardised technologies and protecting intellectual property rights. Given the significant market for standardized products, it is hoped that in times to come India will become a leading neutral venue for global SEP resolution.”
