The European Commission withdrew a proposal on Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) in a bid to reach a broader agreement on the topic, EU Industry Commissioner Stéphane Séjourné told lawmakers of the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs (JURI) committee on Wednesday.
“The overall aim is to have an agreement and to push the Council to adopt a position on the text," he said adding that withdrawing the paper may have been "radical" but was done "to try to move things [along]”.
