Gas & Electricity Markets Authority (appellant) v SSE Generation Ltd & ors (respondents)
Part heard from the 19th July 2022. By the Appellant’s Notice filed on 3 May 2022, the appellant, the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (“GEMA”) (interested party below) appeal the decision of Swift J dated 11 April 2022, which allowed SSE Generation Ltd & Ors’ (respondents/claimants below) claim for judicial review on Ground 1, and granted interim relief by directing the Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) (defendant below) to allow the appeal against GEMA’s decision of 17 December 2020.
Background: – GEMA is the gas and electricity markets regulator for Great Britain. These proceedings arise out of two related decisions taken by GEMA on 17 December 2020, the effect of which was to approve certain changes to the Connection and Use of System Code (the “CUSC”). The CUSC is a multilateral contract between participants in the electricity industry in GB which, amongst other matters, governs charges for electricity transmission in GB. On 30 March 2021, the CMA dismissed a statutory appeal against the GEMA Decisions (the “CMA Decision”).

Interdigital Technology Corporation & ors (applicants) v Lenovo Group Ltd & ors (respondents)
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 27 May 2022 the Claimants apply for permission to appeal the Order of Mr Justice Mellor (sitting as a High Court Judge) dated 29 April 2022 in which he declared a patent to be invalid; revoked it and dismissed their claim for infringement of it.
Background
This case was Trial B in a series of trials concerning five patents claiming inventions in the field of 3G and 4G telecommunications technology. This trial concerns EP(UK) 3,355,537 B1 (EP537 or the Patent). The Claimants seek to make the Defendants (‘Lenovo’) take a FRAND licence to their portfolio of mobile telephony patents said to be standard essential patents (SEPs). EP537 has a priority date of 29 April 2005 which is not contested. It is said to be essential to the UMTS (3G) standard, release 6 onwards (“the Standard”). Lenovo contend that the Standard does not require the patented method to be used. There is no dispute as to the requirements in the Standard and Lenovo’s non-infringement arguments resolve to points of construction of claim 1 of the Patent.
