The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in a precedential decision today vacated a district court’s denial of Lenovo’s request for the court to issue an “antisuit injunction” against Ericsson prohibiting it from enforcing injunctions granted by Brazilian and Colombian courts relating to Ericsson’s 5G standard essential patents (SEPs). The CAFC ruled that the district court erred in determining whether the U.S. lawsuit was dispositive of the South American actions when it concluded that the U.S. action must result in a license between the parties to the standard essential patents (SEPs) at issue.
