5a. Encourages the Commission’s pursuits in ensuring interoperability between digital components and emphasizes the importance of standardization that can be achieved both via SEPs and open licensing models; welcomes the Commission’s efforts in the development of a balanced framework for negotiations between right holders and implementers of standard essential patents in order to ensure fair licensing conditions; invites the Commission to take note and apply the spirit of the CJEU ruling C-170/13 (Huawei v. ZTE), which strikes a balance between the SEP holders and standard implementers, to overcome patent infringements and to ensure the effective conclusion of FRAND licensing agreements.
