With over 100,000 patent families declared essential to 5G standards and 21 companies holding portfolios exceeding 1,000 SEPs each, the instinct heading into licensing negotiations is to lead with scale.
In SEP licensing, a declaration costs almost nothing, but challenging it costs a fortune. Across 5G, 4G LTE, HEVC, and Wi-Fi, rigorous independent reviews consistently show that 30% to 60%
Patent landscape analysis is a macro-level intelligence exercise that tells R&D leaders not just what is protected, but where innovation is clustering, who is driving it, and what is about
Fifty-one proceedings in March 2026. The number alone is the first signal worth reading. By the time these petitions were filed, Director Squires had centralized institution decisions, removed diagnostic reasoning
Since 2025, the U.S. patent system has moved into a period of active recalibration, with the PTAB at the center of policy, legal, and industry debate. Recent congressional discussions and
Ryan Mercer, Senior IP Counsel at a mid-size audio technology firm, was three months into an active patent infringement lawsuit. The plaintiff held a multi-mode audio signal decoder patent, a
Of the 36,166 Change Requests submitted to 3GPP for 5G-Advanced, 45.6% are concentrated in the technologies most critical to 6G. Yet only 21.9% of declared SEP families cover these same
Over 100,000 patent families have been declared essential to 4G and 5G standards. A growing share of licensing campaigns built on that number are now targeting vehicle manufacturers. The shift
Seventeen high-revenue small-molecule drugs were examined beyond simple patent expiry timelines. The review incorporated regulatory protections, competitor filings, and supply arrangements, factors that often surface late in the planning cycle
In February 2025, Peninsula Technologies acquired 364 patents from Ofinno, and in April 2025, Dish Wireless was sued. With just 63 days, the acquisition-to-enforcement window of licensing companies has shrunk
As healthcare budgets across Europe remain under pressure, 2026 marks an important turning point. Multiple high-cost medicines are scheduled to lose regulatory exclusivity, enabling future price competition and expanded patient
The evolution of 5G has entered a new phase, one defined not just by faster speeds but by intelligence, adaptability, and cross-domain integration. As 5G-Advanced continues to mature through 2026,
Key insights: Apple’s iPhone 17 launch quietly confirmed a turning point for Wi-Fi 7. By explicitly calling out Multi-Link Operation (MLO), a core feature of the standard, the launch signaled
In the chemical domain, freedom-to-operate (FTO) risk extends far beyond what is immediately visible from a product’s composition or a process flow diagram. Unlike mechanical or electronic inventions, where infringement
The licensing framework for Cellular IoT technologies, including NB-IoT, LTE-M, RedCap, and V2X, is quickly becoming unreliable. This is happening because the standardization process itself is evolving rapidly, with each
Licensing teams rarely struggle because the technical work is incomplete. They struggle because the work arrives in pieces. SEP analysis is performed separately. Prior art studies follow a different methodology.
