Nokia wins UK appeal to block Acer, Asus video streaming patent lawsuits

LONDON: Nokia won an appeal to block London lawsuits by Taiwanese tech companies Acer and Asus on Tuesday in a case which is part of a global dispute over video coding technology.

Acer and Asus had previously obtained a High Court declaration that ‌a willing ⁠licensor ⁠in Nokia’s position would agree to an interim licence until the court decided the “reasonable and non-discriminatory” terms of a patent licence.
