Abstract：The distribution of jurisdiction in standard essential patents (SEPs)litigation is not clear in various countries and there are no unified applicable rules of anti-suit injunctions for international parallel litigation of SEPs based on the complexity and global nature of disputes surrounding SEPs.As a result,anti-suit injunctions around SEPs are more and more popular,and has gradually become a tool for the parties and courts to compete for litigation advantage and jurisdiction.Through an empirical study on the typical cases in countries with a high incidence of anti-suit injunctions around the major jurisdictions of the world,this paper compares the differences and similarities of the conditions for issuing anti-suit injunctions,and identifies the decisive factors affecting the issuance of anti-suit injunction.The study found the influencing factors for the issuance of anti-suit injunctions are in order from high to low,which are court factors,party factors and international factors.Among them,whether the two judgements affect each other and thus the domestic litigation is affected is the main factor.And then,the court will weigh the profit and loss between the parties and finally decide whether the impact on the international comity could be tolerated.Based on this,the article puts forward a framework on anti-suit injunctions for coordinating international parallel litigation of SEPs in different jurisdictions to reduce the occurrence of litigation race related to SEPs.
