JUVE Comment

Another chambers which hosts patent capacities alongside a commercial law arm, One Essex Court is heavily involved in the FRAND discussions shaping European patent jurisprudence. With appearances in the past year over all UK court levels, One Essex Court has a foot in the door when it comes to the interface between FRAND and competition. However, it also has capacities in patent infringement, with a junior recently advocating for claimant Excel-Eucan in a case concerning machine gun bandoliers.
