HTC had consistently maintained that the patents were not essential to the technology, and refused to take a license during pre-suit negotiations.

Key Points:

HTC had consistently maintained that the patents were not essential to the technology, and refused to take a license during pre-suit negotiations.
At trial Sisvel argued that this meant HTC was not entitled to receive a FRAND rate because it was not acting as a willing licensee.
Its message is a clear one: in the US, FRAND is a two-way street that imposes obligations not only on licensors, but on licensees too.
"Of course, FRAND rates are only available to willing licensees,” said David Muus, Sisvel’s Head of Legal Operations.
