Anand and Anand has been recognised in the India Business Law Journal’s 2024 Deals of the Year for their outstanding work on the landmark deal between InterDigital and Oppo-a global patent license agreement!
This remarkable achievement highlights Anand and Anand’s continued excellence in legal dealmaking and our commitment to delivering top-tier services on significant, complex matters including high-stake SEP disputes.
“In this longstanding patent dispute, InterDigital was successful in securing a favourable outcome. Usually, such disputes end in the grant of licences, but due to the developments in this dispute there is now jurisprudence for other measures in similar cases.
Since late 2021, InterDigital and Oppo have been locked in a fiercely contested patent litigation. The Oppo Group, a smartphone giant, used InterDigital’s patents essential to the 3G, 4G and 5G standard essential patents (SEPs) to manufacture its devices without a licence. InterDigital filed suits for infringement in India, the UK, Spain, Germany and China.”
“In 2024, the parties signed a global patent licence agreement, agreeing to terminate all pending litigation. A win-win for both sides, this was driven by the intense pressure on Oppo through multiple court orders that caused it to lose substantial ground.
InterDigital successfully argued that Oppo was deliberately delaying the case, leading to penalties for Oppo’s conduct. In February 2024, the court set a deadline for concluding the trial by December 2024. While Oppo managed to convert its cash deposit requirement into a bank guarantee, it failed to have the negative remarks about its conduct expunged, or postpone the trial schedule on appeal,” says IBLJ in its report.
Kudos to the entire team for its hard work, dedication, and innovative approach to solving legal challenges.
