Amazon.com, Inc & Ors v Interdigital VC Holdings, Inc & Ors

The English court has jurisdiction over Amazon's RAND and competition claims because, properly characterised, they relate to UK patents and markets; service under CPR r.63.14 and permission to serve out were valid; InterDigital's undertakings and arbitration offer do not provide a licence or certainty and do not remove the UK jurisdictional hook; no alternative forum is clearly or distinctly more appropriate; and a forum non conveniens or case management stay is refused.
