Dear member,

As you may know, every year, the President of the European Chamber leads a delegation of senior representatives to present the annual Position Paper to high level representatives of the European Union Institutions in Brussels. This year the trip took place in the last week of September. In an effort to create awareness about this important initiative and to follow up on the outcome of these high level meetings, the Chamber would like to invite you to a meeting for a debriefing session with Massimo Bagnasco, VP of the Chamber.

On 26 April 2018, the High People’s Court of Guangdong Province, China’s high-tech heartland, issued the Working Guidelines on the Trial of Standard Essential Patent Disputes (For Trial Implementation) 《关于审理标准必要专利纠纷案件的工作指引（试行）》. While these Guidelines are currently legally binding locally, they endorse recognised court practices on SEP-related issues. Thus, they may also shed light on the factors that courts in other parts of China may consider in such cases.
