Acer Incorporated & Anor v Nokia Technologies OY [2026] EWCA Civ 604 (18 May 2026)
The Court of Appeal held that Nokia’s disputed cross-licence term was not RAND-compliant and the case management stay was conditional on its removal.
The Court of Appeal held that Nokia’s disputed licence term was not RAND and ordered the case management stay only if that term was removed.
The court granted an interim anti-anti-suit injunction ex parte, finding it seriously arguable that InterDigital may imminently seek to restrain Amazon's pursuit of final RAND relief in the UK, which would undermine the English court's jurisdiction and could be vexatious or oppressive. The risk was real and imminent, justifying quia timet relief. The order was limited in duration to preserve the status quo until an inter partes hearing, and was carefully crafted to avoid interfering with substantive patent infringement proceedings in foreign courts.
