LONDON, July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. technology firm

InterDigital and a patent licensing platform on Monday won their

bid to throw out a London lawsuit by Tesla, which was

seeking a patent licence ahead of the automaker's launch of 5G

vehicles in Britain.

Elon Musk's company sued InterDigital and Avanci -

which licenses patents from multiple owners, largely for

automotive uses - at London's High Court in 2023.

InterDigital and Avanci in May asked the court to throw out

Tesla's bid for a ruling on the fair terms of a licence for

certain patents and the High Court ruled in their favour on

Monday.
