EU Parliament lawmakers vote to sue Commission over withdrawn patent bill
In a surprising turn of events, the European Parliament's legal affairs committee has voted to sue the European Commission for withdrawing a patent licensing plan. This move aims to regulate standard essential patents, crucial for modern wireless networks, and has sparked a heated debate between big patent holders and companies needing these patents. The committee's decision, supported by a majority, was driven by concerns that patent disputes could stifle innovation and competition in the tech industry. The next step lies with President Roberta Metsola, who must decide whether to file the case by November fourteenth. The outcome could set new rules for patent regulation in Europe and reshape future tech debates.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
