Small and medium sized manufacturers of standard-compliant products must be prepared for royalty requests from patent holders and pools concerning standard essential patents (SEPs). Analyzing SEP landscapes is crucial for effective FRAND licensing negotiations. By mapping out numerators and denominators, manufacturers can determine the share of relevant patents held by individual patent holders and pools for standards like 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, HEVC/VVC, or Qi. This data allows manufacturers to compare licensing offers and assess the relative value of different patent portfolios.

Additionally, monitoring SEP filing and ownership trends helps quantify risks and forecast future royalty expenses, including tracking activities of patent assertion entities acquiring SEPs. This webinar (hosted by LES France) will provide a comprehensive understanding of selected SEP landscapes and discuss how manufacturers can use SEP data to negotiate royalties and effectively plan their IP budgets.
