Tesla’s U.K. Lawsuit for 5G Patents License Thrown out by Court
Elon Musk’s company sued InterDigital and Avanci – which licenses patents from multiple owners, largely for automotive uses – at London’s High Court in 2023.
Tesla wanted the court to determine the fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms of a license for Tesla to use patents owned by patent holders, including InterDigital and which are licensed by Avanci.
Tesla’s lawyers said in court filings for a hearing in May that the company “plans imminently to launch 5G vehicles in the UK.”
InterDigital and Avanci, however, asked the court to throw out Tesla’s bid for a ruling on FRAND terms for a license.
The High Court ruled in their favor on Monday, with Judge Timothy Fancourt saying in a written ruling that Tesla’s bid for a license must be thrown out but Tesla’s claim to revoke three of InterDigital’s patents can continue.
