12:31 PM EDT, 07/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The UK Supreme Court allowed Tesla's (TL0.F) appeal related to a legal dispute with InterDigital and Avanci over the terms of a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory, or FRAND, license to use standard essential patents for 5G-enabled vehicles in the UK. The Supreme Court overturned a 2025 Court of Appeal decision and ruled in favor of the US electric carmaker, saying the patent owners are not exempt from FRAND obligations already undertaken simply by joining a patent pool or platform. InterDigital and Avanci are companies that license patents from multiple owners. The case is now expected to return to the High Court.
