Bloomberg Law Quotes Prof. Cotter on Antisuit Injunctions

A Bloomberg Law article titled “Patent Litigators Add to Playbook With Anti-Suit Injunction” discusses recent decisions around the world, involving litigation over FRAND-committed standard-essential patents, in which courts have enjoined parties from pursuing parallel litigation in another country (antisuit injunctions)—and in some cases, from pursuing antisuit injunctions in another country (anti-antisuit injunctions). The article quotes Professor Tom Cotter as stating, among other things, that “the situation could reinvigorate a push for an international forum to settle global licensing disputes over standardized technologies.”
