How did the intense lobbying by industries and Big Tech influence the Commission's decision to withdraw the three proposals?

The scrapped SEP regulation aimed to resolve costly patent litigation between patent holders (Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm) and users (Apple, Google, carmakers).

The Commission cited lack of expected agreement and outdatedness for the withdrawals.
