Tesla dropped contract claim against Avanci in UK litigation:

Avanci's counsel just explained to Mr Justice Fancourt that Tesla has backtracked from its original particulars of claim and no longer asserts that Avanci has a contractual obligation vis-à-vis Tesla to grant a SEP license on FRAND terms. Instead, Tesla is now pursuing a tortious-liability claim against Avanci according to which Avanci allegedly failed to comply with a mandate from its licensors to grant licenses on FRAND terms.
