In two decisions of April 29, 2014, the European Commission has clarified its understanding of how standard essential patents shall be used within the European Community by complying with EU anti-trust rules. In one case(Samsung), the Commission has accepted legally binding commitments on standard essential patents to the extent that Samsung will not seek injunctions and has offered a license under so-called “FRAND” (“fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory”) terms. In another case (Motorola), the Commission has ordered Motorola to eliminate the negative effects resulting from the enforcement of a standard essential patent.
