Detailed and comprehensive patent-to-standard mapping
Our Patent-to-Standard mapping served as an essentiality analysis of the client’s portfolio and provided key insights to their licensing and monetization strategies.
Helping a telecom giant monetize their IP
A major U.S. telecom player needed a trusted partner to review their patent against standdards and identify potential implementers to launch their IP licensing and monetization campaign
The Challenge
Navigating IEEE and 3GPP standards
The client is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, with thousands of patents related to various technologies such as wireless communications, 5G, and internet of things (IoT). They needed a partner with a deep technical understanding of their patent portfolio and standard essential patents (SEPs), specifically in IEEE and 3GPP, to launch their IP licensing and monetization campaign.
The Solution
Identifying new opportunities for SEP licensing
Our first step was to identify which patents were most valuable for licensing or sale based on their essentiality to specific standards or evidence of use from other companies. We conducted a thorough analysis of the client’s portfolio, starting with a representative sample of over 40 patents.
Our search strategies proved to be highly effective in determining the level of third party usage and the relevance to the client’s patent claims. With both patent-to-standards and evidence of use searches combined, we were able to accomplish the following:
In addition to conducting our own evidence of use searches, we reviewed prior work submitted by other search firms previously engaged by the client. The client found those earlier results to be suboptimal.
In response, we delivered a more tailored technical mapping aligned with their specific requirements, offering a clearer, more structured visual representation of how their patent claims are implemented in third-party products and services.
Parola Analytics’ technical expertise allowed us to provide a more accurate assessment of the essentiality of the patents to the specific standards, which was a critical factor in determining their value in the licensing market.
Our Impact
Looking to maximize the value of your SEP portfolio?
The challenge
A global telecom leader needed deep expertise in SEPs, particularly IEEE and 3GPP, to support its IP licensing and monetization efforts.
Why it worked
Integrated workflow
We implemented a structured workflow that moved seamlessly from patent-to-standards mapping to targeted evidence of use search.
The outcome
- Maximized the value of the client’s patent portfolio, enhancing their value and position in licensing negotiations
- Identified the most valuable IP for patent licensing or sale based on their essentiality to standards
- Uncovered new potential licensees and revenue sources through customized evidence of use search
