Webinar: How to Navigate the Risks of SEP Licensing and SEP Litigation – Sponsored by IPlytics

Connectivity technology will not only connect smartphones, tablets, and computers but every device or object across many industry verticals linking other vehicles, trucks, traffic lights, machines, TVs, smart meters, or medical devices. Technology standards such as 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, HEVC, VVC, and many more will enable connectivity that heavily relies on standards subject to standard essential patents (SEPs). SEP-related global…

Webinar: AI Based Determination – Challenging the Status Quo – Sponsored by Unified Patents & IPlytics

One of the major challenges when licensing, transacting, or managing Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) is that there is no public database that provides information about verified SEPs. Standard-setting organizations (SSOs) such as ETSI (4G / 5G), IEEE (Wi-Fi), or ITUT (HEVC/VVC) maintain databases of so-called self-declared patents that are required to be licensed pursuant to a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory…

Determining When a Patent Portfolio is Standard-Essential: A Probabilistic Approach

In recent years, several patent experts and commentators have claimed that there are too many “low-quality” patents being granted by patent offices around the world, or that a large percentage of patents are often found invalid by courts and judges. Until a patent is found to be invalid by a court or another tribunal, during licensing negotiations both licensor and licensee can only consider the likelihood that such patent is eventually found invalid based on the incomplete information available to them. Similarly, it has been claimed that a patent-by-patent analysis of a large patent portfolio could determine, without any uncertainty, whether a portfolio is infringed or standard essential. For example, several studies have been published or presented in courts that try to determine which patents in a portfolio are “truly” essential….. A better model, in the author’s opinion, is a probabilistic model that tries to estimate the likelihood of a portfolio to be infringed, valid and/or essential.

IPW Webinar: Determining Essentiality for Standard Essential Patents: Challenges, Benefits & Solutions

One of the major challenges when licensing, transacting, or managing SEPs is that there is no public database that provides information about verified Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). Standard-setting organizations (“SSOs”) such as ETSI (4G / 5G), IEEE (Wi-Fi), or ITUT (HEVC/VVC) maintain databases of so-called self-declared patents to document the FRAND obligation. However, the SSOs do not determine whether any…
