It would hardly be a surprise if the proposed EU SEP regulation took 10 years to implement given the history with the UP/UPC (over 30 years from conception to implementation), or even if it never sees the light of day. If the UPC is able to set FRAND rates quickly and avoids granting early injunctions, and the German courts fall into line, that would seem to solve the problem (faced by implementers) if there is indeed a problem to be solved.
