In an infringement action before the Unified Patent Court (UPC) on 19 March 2026, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Ericsson) is the claimant against multiple defendants, including Shenzhen Transsion Holdings and several others, collectively referred to as the 'Transsion defendants.' This preliminary order arises from a case management hearing (CMH) held on 5 March 2026, addressing procedural aspects, particularly a confidentiality regime pending further negotiations. Ericsson seeks a FRAND declaration only in the UPC proceedings, while there are parallel actions in various jurisdictions against Transsion. At this stage, no counterclaim has been filed by the Transsion defendants, whose representation is currently not finalized regarding a FRAND defense. The proceedings will continue as outlined in the court's Rules of Procedure, with emphasis on resolving confidentiality issues by 10 April 2026.
