I am on my way to Asia for a couple of conferences, so I will be brief.  First, as noted in the post below, I had the incorrect European/U.K. time listed for our forthcoming webinar on German FRAND cases.  It will be 16:00 CET, 15:00 UK time, and 9:00 am U.S. Central Time.  And it now looks like we will have a lot to talk about, since according to ip fray there was a major preliminary decision yesterday from the Munich Higher Regional Court in HMD Global Oy v. VoiceAge EVS GmbH & Co. KG, that appears to agree in large part with European Commission’s position as stated in its now-famous amicus brief in this case.

Second, I plan to take a blogging break next week while I participate in the Asian conferences.   The first, to take place in Macau on Monday and Tuesday, is the 20th IEEM Intellectual Property Seminar, on “Proportionality in Intellectual Property Law.”  (IEEM is the Institute for European Studies of Macau, or Instituto de Estudos Europeus de Macau in Portuguese.)  I will discussing one of my current book projects, Wrongful Patent Assertion:  A Comparative Law and Economics Analysis.  Then on Wednesday, I will be speaking in Hong Kong on extraterritorial damages for IP infringement (one of several topics to be covered in my other current book project, Remedies in Intellectual Property Law) at IEEM’s IP Programme 2024:  Professional Intellectual Property Update.
