Today, the UK Court of Appeal dismissed Tesla's case against Avanci and InterDigital. Commenting on the decision, Mark A. Taken, SVP & General Counsel at Avanci, said: “Avanci is pleased that the Court of Appeal has affirmed the lower court decision by Mr. Justice Fancourt.?Our optional licensing programs for connected vehicles provide a market-driven global level playing field. Our 4G Vehicle program spans more than 100 auto brands (including Tesla) and almost 60 licensors, while our 5G Vehicle program, launched in 2023, now includes 40 auto brands and over 70 licensors. ? Both the High Court and Court of Appeal have dismissed the case and found that Tesla’s claims did not constitute a serious issue to be tried. The door remains open for Tesla to take an Avanci 5G Vehicle license and benefit from the early licensee reduction if it does so before selling its first 5G capable vehicle.”

Avanci Founder and CEO, Kasim Alfalahi and our Vice President of Avanci IoT, Marianne Frydenlund are in Barcelona, Spain this week for Mobile World Congress, the annual gathering of leading experts in cellular technology from around the world. As well as meeting with several of the participants in Avanci licensing programs, MWC Barcelona provides a great opportunity to get a first glimpse of game-changing technologies, big ideas that will drive the digital economy and opportunities for global change alongside policy, business, and technology leaders. Hola / bon dia Barcelona! ?? #MWC25 #CellularTechnology #Innovation

Connectivity is shaping the future of transportation. Connected vehicles do so much more than getting us from A to B. For drivers and passengers, connected vehicles provide a safer, greener and more enjoyable driving experience that keeps pace with our digital lives. We’ve seen a recent shift in the automotive industry, with the introduction of C-V2X technology for #4G and #5G vehicles. This new technology uses cellular networks allowing vehicles to communicate with each other, with infrastructure and with vulnerable road users to improve road safety by detecting and reacting to the vehicle’s surroundings. To meet the needs of the auto industry, Avanci created its one-stop licensing marketplace to reflect a strong belief in providing simple and efficient options for licensing the standardised cellular technologies used by connected vehicles. This simplified, transparent approach to licensing lets manufacturers focus on what they do best—creating new, innovative products and services to benefit consumers.

?? Did you know in 2025, the number of internet-connected devices is estimated to grow to more than 40 billion? The #IoT industry is continuously innovating new connected products and enhancing existing ones to deliver convenience, productivity and security to consumers and businesses in a more connected world. As more and more devices incorporate cellular connectivity, we predict a demand for joint licensing solutions as an optional alternative to bilateral licensing. Our Avanci IoT program offers joint licensing solutions for cellular-connected IoT devices with a current focus on EV Chargers and Smart Meters. We are working to expand our current programs and exploring with potential participants to create new programs to offer simple and efficient joint licensing solutions for more of their products.

Continuous innovation is the core drive of societal progress. It does not only profoundly change our life but also injects strong momentum into the sustainable development of the global economy. Thanks to licensing platforms like Avanci, global technology sharing has become more convenient, enabling innovations to efficiently be adopted in products and services, thereby accelerating the implementation and application of technologies. ?? Let us explore Tetsuya Yamamoto’s journey on innovation, a leading expert in cellular technology at Panasonic. His ambition to contribute to the next generation of mobile communication systems led him to join Panasonic in 2013 and be a part of the development of URLLC technology that is crucial for emerging applications such as connected vehicles and remote driving. But how did he do it? Believing that great inventions often stem from a deep understanding of society's real needs, rather than a blind pursuit of technology for its own sake. Yamamoto-san and his team faced unique challenges during their research due to strict reliability and latency requirements, leading him to adopt a systematic approach to innovation. To do this, they: ?? Worked closely with other departments at Panasonic ?? Gained an understanding of the user scenario requirements ?? Focused on quantitative evaluations and verifications to confirm the usefulness of the developed technologies. The approach was not only successful and cost-effective but was also used for later projects such as MTC technology and highlighted the importance of sharing technology. Panasonic deeply understands the significance of technology-sharing platforms. In the context of the automotive industry’s rapid transition toward intelligent connectivity, traditional automakers are often unfamiliar with standard-essential patents (SEPs). Companies like Panasonic, which are both patent holders and implementors, can leverage patent platforms to share their technologies and receive fair returns. Particularly driven by #5G technology, numerous industries are undergoing profound transformations. 5G does not only accelerate technological advancement but also fosters cross-industry integration and collaborative innovation, giving rise to countless emerging business models and services while unlocking immense market potential. Together, these advancements propel the global economy toward greater efficiency and smarter development, creating more opportunities for growth. At Avanci, we offer licensees and licensors a platform to share technologies with a simple and efficient licensing solution.
