摘要
在技术标准被采用之后,标准必要专利权利人获得了市场支配地位。为了防止垄断,标准组织通常要求标准必要专利权利人,作出"公平、合理和无歧视(FRAND)"承诺。但是,专利权人将标准必要专利转让之后,FRAND承诺是否具有法律效力,这个问题鲜有讨论。英国"无线星球诉三星案"表明FRAND承诺具有普遍约束力,该案值得我国参考与借鉴。
The patent holders of Standard Essential Patents have dominant position in the relevant market since the technical standards were adopted. To prevent illegal monopolies, Standard Setting Organizations require patent holders to make a commitment of “Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (FRAND)” license. After standard essential patents were assigned to the others, however, the legal effect of the FRAND commitment should be reconsidered. The case of Unwired Planet International Ltd v. Samsung in the U.K. shows that the commitment shall be interpreted as binding on all successors-in-interest. This case is worth studying by China.
