01-06-2012 A longstanding and public patent dispute came to an end last week when the UK Court of Appeals ruled that Vodafone had infringed on a standard-essential patent held by IPCom while developing a telecoms solution for the government. The final ruling went against Vodafone, but interestingly, the case tested the rules around a rarely seen defence of ‘Crown’s use’. In an exclusive interview with WIPR, a lead lawyer in the dispute says had Vodafone won, the government may have faced “unforeseen” costs over its pandemic response. Emergency system Vodafone had been selected by the government for the Mobile Telecommunications Privileged Access Scheme (MTPAS), which saw the government request Vodafone to develop a system that would give emergency services precedence on network channels during high-traffic periods. When trialling the system, Vodafone was found to have infringed on an IPCom standard-essential patent (SEP).
