Background
With its vote of 28 February 2024, the European Parliament supported the EU Commission's proposal (COM(2023)0232) for a regulation on standard essential patents (SEPs)). Despite the stark criticism of the draft Regulation – particularly from the SEP holders – the European Parliament is not proposing any fundamental changes. The draft Regulation is now under review by the Council of the European Union.
