		<description><![CDATA[The patent battle between Nokia  and German IP asset management firm IPCom illustrates well the lack of practical understanding as to what fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (or FRAND) licensing terms practically means in Europe. IPEG blogged about this earlier. The conflict started at the end of 2006 when IPCom, a company founded by Bernhard Frohwitter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently we blogged about Patent Plutonomies. The expression was coined following Ajay Kapur, (former) global strategist at Citigroup, who described countries which are defined by massive income and wealth inequality as “Plutonomies”. Translated into IPR, especially to the patent system, “Patent Plutonomy” refers to an IP world where only a few know how to play [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is “independent invention” a cure against trolls in that it can be argued that infringement cannot be established in case of an “independent invention”? No it is not. A  lot of confusion, misunderstandings, half-truths, nonsensical quasi-lawerly talk exists around the term &#8220;independent invention&#8220;. The term is often &#8220;spittered&#8221; about as means against patent infringement actions [...]]]></description>

David Wanetick of IncreMental Advantage has very specific advice to companies dealing with trolls.

Initially, during the 1980s and early 1990s this was because Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean companies took licenses from European and US patent owners. Then the Korean powerhouses came up, [...]]]></description>

In the context of standardized technology the Federal Supreme Court concludes that an injunctive relief is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Auctions to sell assets have been known for long. Goethe proposed the publisher Vieweg in 1797 to sell his manuscript of his poem Hermann and Dorothea via an auction (later to become known as &#8220;a second-price auction&#8221;).
