What the Talk is About
Central to Judge Hoffman’s approach is the principle Comity for Court decisions with different valuations of FRAND-rates. A multilateral respected calculation model of global FRAND-rates based on their evaluation by different jurisdictions could be the recipe that could help Courts around the world come to grips with the division of competences in an increasingly global technology world. In addition, it would allow to minimize opportunistic licensing and litigating behavior. In this talk Judge Hoffmann proposes a three step approach to determine global Frand Rate setting if different courts have set different FRAND-rates globally. It is hoped that this could help ease tensions among the various Courts of the world and improve the global separation of powers. It would also help Courts assure their mission to be fair and just by relying not only on legal analysis, but also on economic competence.
