Of the 800-plus SEP invalidation searches GreyB completed in the past year, the decisive prior art came from outside patent databases in most cases. The key evidence often did not
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%
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
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.
As 6G standardization takes shape, the landscape is already showing signs of fragmentation. 6G Core: Telecom vs. Non-Telecom Who is Leading the Future Standards? 3GPP Contribution Split: The convergence of
From 2G through 4G, SEP declaration counts became the industry’s shorthand for power. Negotiation dynamics favored raw numbers, with counterparties conceding that more declared families meant broader coverage. Large licensors
University labs are becoming key sources of licensable intellectual property in the video coding industry. Over 1,400 VVC-related patent families are linked to just a few leading universities, including Peking
According to IAM Media and WIPO data, fewer than 30% of patent disputes result in a court ruling, while nearly 70% are settled through negotiation stages. Yet these negotiations frequently
Similar to previous Wi-Fi standards, there has been an influx of patent declarations for Wi-Fi 7, with over 4000 families related to WI-FI 7. Distinguishing between truly Standard Essential Patents
From 2015 to 2020, new Standard Essential Patent (SEP) families in telecom jumped threefold from 6,457 to 17,623. The 5G standard alone accounts for over 150,000 declared patents since 2015.
If your SEP licensing efforts are falling short of expectations due to licensee rebuttals, it’s time to rethink your approach. One common misstep is focusing only on a single stage
With the rise of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) in India and the growing interest of Chinese companies in this market, the question looms: “Could India be the next patent hub
The integration of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the 802.11 Task Group for a comprehensive study marks a significant step towards advancing next-generation wireless networks. The study,
With the rise in patent filings and the rapid development of industry standards like 3GPP, ITU-T, and IEEE, the number of Standard Essential Patent (SEP) declarations has surged. This increase
Technical standards, evolving technologies, and scattered patent declarations complicate the process of determining standard essential patents (SEPs). This is further complicated by the need for manual searches across various databases,
