Securing standard essential patents (SEPs) on cutting-edging technologies is a vital IP strategy for leading companies. Our patent attorneys work with multinational corporations to develop strong and valuable SEP portfolios on inventions related to various standards devised by standards development organizations such as ETSI, IEEE, ITU, and ISO/IEC. Our keen knowledge and extensive experience on diverse standards enabled us to be designated as a patent evaluation organization for international patent pools and licensing groups in 2004, and we have been evaluating the essentiality of patents in connection with telecommunications, audio coding, and other standards, for almost twenty years.

“Our dedicated SEP team provides our clients with optimal solutions for every aspect that may arise.”

As important as securing SEPs is the licensing and exercising of the SEPs that meet fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) requirements to maximize the patentees’ revenue, while maintaining fair access to their technologies. We have worked with various clients in portfolio management, litigation and arbitration, based on our in-depth analysis and understanding of the different jurisdictional FRAND requirements. Our dedicated SEP team, comprised of consummate patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law with legal and technical knowledge and experience in SEPs, provides our clients with optimal solutions for every aspect that may arise in relation to securing and exercising SEPs, including patent infringement/invalidation, damages calculation, matters relating to employee inventions and licensing agreements.
