Hisense Sued Again at UPC

WISECODE Take

Many business owners view patent litigation merely as a legal battle, but it is actually a high-leverage financial investment game. In financial terms, patents are assets with stable cash flows, and Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) are like high-yield privileged bonds. Velos's lawsuit against Hisense at the UPC Munich Local Chamber (Case No. UPC_CFI_1300/2026) over patent EP4258663 is essentially an asset-liquidation move by a licensing platform. For Taiwanese companies expanding globally, failing to budget for patent licensing is like unprotected financing, risking product bans and massive damages in Europe under HEVC standards. We suggest incorporating licensing fees into R&D budgets and conducting thorough FTO searches before exporting.
