SUMMARY:APABA Silicon Valley and NEDO present: New Possibilities for Injunctions on SEPs - Critical Updates from Japan and US
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here\n	\nAPABA Silicon Valley’s IP Committee\, in collaboration with NEDO\, invites you to an insightful seminar on the evolving global landscape of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). \nAs courts and regulators across key jurisdictions revisit fundamental questions around SEP enforcement\, this program will explore how FRAND obligations are being applied in practice\, how “willingness” to license is evaluated\, and when injunctive relief may be available. These developments are actively reshaping negotiation dynamics and litigation strategies worldwide. \nJapan has recently emerged as a significant forum for SEP disputes\, including issuing its first-ever injunction based on an implementer’s “unwillingness” to participate in court-led settlement. Meanwhile\, the United States continues to influence SEP policy through evolving case law and renewed attention on remedies available to SEP owners. \nJoin us for a timely discussion on how courts and policymakers are redefining the balance between patent enforcement and access to standardized technologies. \nMODERATOR: Mai Miyaoka\, Senior Director\, NEDO Silicon Valley Office; Principal Patent Examiner\, the Japan Patent Office \nSPEAKERS:\nTakeshi Sakaguchi\, Patent Examiner\, the Japan Patent Office\nJoseph Yang\, Partner\, PatentEsque Law Group LLP; Lecturer\, Stanford Law School
