60% of world economy backs UPC Mannheim; SharkNinja UPC loss; HMD gives up in Brazil; various new cases

1) Free opinion piece: 60% of global economy shares UPC Mannheim LD’s concerns over judicial overreach; UK accounts for 3%, but wants to dictate FRAND to everyone

The UK judiciary is increasingly isolated on the global map of patent litigation. Instead of findings its place as a reasonable jurisdiction that renders opinions of persuasive value, it is digging itself an ever deeper hole.

2) Premium but free summary: SharkNinja fails to secure UPC injunction as Paris LD finds patent likely invalid due to implicit disclosure in prior art

The UPC denied SharkNinja’s injunction request, finding that all features of the patent were disclosed in a prior art document, even if not all of them explicitly.

3) Premium: Wilus targets TP-Link over Wi-Fi SEPs, Dolby sues Barco in projector dispute in Eastern District of Texas complaints

Wilus continues its Wi-Fi enforcement drive; while Dolby takes action outside the SEP arena.

4) Free: HMD elects not to appeal Brazilian preliminary injunction in NEC audio standard case

The Rio state court’s final judgment in the case is expected next month.

5) LinkedIn: Valeo sues Bosch spinout SEG in UPC

A patent fight between automotive suppliers.

6) LinkedIn: Nokia's withdrawal of infringement actions against Warner Bros. and Paramount is OLD NEWS

We normally don't repost older articles on LinkedIn, especially not after 7 weeks. In this case we do so because an article that appeared yesterday on another patent-focused website suggested that there was anything new about Nokia having submitted to UK FRAND jurisdiction in its disputes with video streamers Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount. But we already reported on that in February. The withdrawals of the infringement cases was just an inevitable consequence as the streamers did not dispute that they needed a license, the sole question left to be resolved being the royalty rate.

One more example of old news that could be mistaken as new:

Another website talks about last week's Dyson v. Dreame UPC decision today. We covered that decision one week ago (to the day).
