The article examines anti-suit injunctions and their use in patent disputes. The article traces back the origins of anti-suit injunctions in the United Kingdom and discusses the situations where they can be granted. Then, it examines anti-suit injunctions in patent disputes and presents a case study. The article argues that the current patent system involving essential patents should be reviewed, in order to prevent the proliferation of injunctions issued by courts in different jurisdictions aimed at keeping their ability to judge. In the article we propose a suggestion for reviewing the system.
