Given the very substantial legal and business concerns involved within the telecommunication standardization environment, the conflicts what FRAND terms and conditions means seem to be unavoidable. The analysis shows that the FRAND debate is very controversial and that many questions related to the enforcement of FRAND commitments under EC competition law remain unsolved. In essence, this paper demonstrates that FRAND commitments can be used as a powerful defence in order to prevent dominant patent holders from abusively exploiting their standard-essential patents. However, when determining the impact of FRAND commitments under Article 102 TFEU, it should be kept in mind that the test that complainants need to meet, is not merely a test based on the rational of FRAND commitments under the relevant SSOs rules. In other words, in the absence of dominance, even if a patentee in fact does not fulfil his FRAND commitments and asks for exorbitant royalty rates, this does not automatically provide complainants with an antirust remedy under the EC competition law.Currently the author is an associate lawyer with law firm Amereller Rechtsanwälte & Legal Consultants in Munich and Dubai, with the main area of practise IP law and international arbitration. 606 $aPatent licenses$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aPatent suits$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aAntitrust law$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aGlobal system for mobile communications$zEurope 615 0$aPatent licenses 615 0$aPatent suits 615 0$aAntitrust law 615 0$aGlobal system for mobile communications 700 $aVa?isa?nen$b Tuire Anniina$f1983-$01793477 712 02$aMunich Intellectual Property Law Center. 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910297035203321 996 $aEnforcement of FRAND Commitments under Article 102 TFEU$94333312 997 $aUNINA
