Case study

How Optis won a landmark $700M FRAND licence against Apple in the UK

We worked with Optis to secure a landmark victory in its patent dispute with Apple, winning a FRAND licence worth over $700 million—the largest such award ever set by a UK court. The Court of Appeal’s decision not only increased the original award tenfold but also set a new benchmark for how UK courts value telecoms patents and handle multi-jurisdictional disputes.

This result re-establishes the UK as a balanced forum for Standard Essential Patent holders and will influence future global licensing negotiations. Our deep expertise and strategic approach delivered a commercially realistic outcome for the client, attracting widespread industry attention and recognition.
