Tesla’s UK lawsuit for 5G patents licence thrown out by UK court

U.S. technology firm InterDigital and a patent licensing platform on Monday won their bid to throw out a London lawsuit by Tesla, which was seeking a patent licence ahead of the automaker’s launch of 5G vehicles in Britain.

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.
