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  TSLA.O , which was
seeking a patent licence ahead of the automaker's launch of 5G
vehicles in Britain.
    Elon Musk's company sued InterDigital  IDCC.O  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.
