The European Commission on 17 October 2013 invited comments from interested parties on commitments offered by Samsung Electronics (Samsung) in relation to the enforcement of the standard essential patents (SEPs) it owns in the field of mobile communications. The European Commission has concerns about Samsung’s seeking of injunctions against Apple in the European Economic Area (EEA) on the basis of its mobile SEPs which may have amounted to an abuse of a dominant position prohibited by EU antitrust rules. In order to remedy these concerns, Samsung offered to abstain from seeking injunctions for mobile SEPs for a period of five years against any company that agrees to a particular licensing framework. |
