Standard essential patents (SEP) are those required in order to comply with a technical standard. According to ETSI definitions, a patent is considered essential “if it is not possible on technical (but not commercial) grounds, to make, sell, lease, otherwise dispose of, repair, use or operate equipment or methods which comply with a standard without infringing that IPR”.
As successful standards are adopted across entire industries, intellectual property holders vie for their technologies to be incorporated into standards to generate valuable revenues through royalties or licensing.
Parola Analytics provides various services that can be tailored to your specific needs and requirements with regards to SEPs.
Safeguard your Standard Essential Patents by identifying infringers in the market
US telecom giant uses Parola Analytics’ customized Evidence of Use search and Standard Essential Patents (SEP) Analysis for patent licensing and monetization.
Standard Essential Patents often command higher licensing fees due to their critical role in standards implementation.
Establishing essentiality can help patent holders maximize revenue generation from their IP assets.
On the other hand, over-declaration by patent owners have become an issue in SEPs. Patent owners may make “blanket” disclosures without identifying the specific patents.
Assessing essentiality before entering any licensing negotiations therefore becomes important as not all SEPs that are declared essential are actually essential.
Patents that may have been declared essential may still be exposed to invalidation challenges. A validity search can help
Parola provided us the key reference
The first search Parola Analytics, Inc. performed for us provided the key reference supporting our invalidity position on a patent we were evaluating.
