Standard essential patents (SEPs) play a crucial role in ensuring that technical standards are accessible and implementable across industries. These patents, which are deemed essential to implement particular technical standards, generally must be licensed by their owners on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. But reasonable minds can differ on what constitutes FRAND terms in individual licensing negotiations, and those disagreements often find their way into courts around the world.
In a recent article for The Licensing Journal, Principals Benjamin Elacqua, Scott Flanz, Christopher Green, and Whitney Reichel delve into the intricacies of SEP licensing, exploring the legal and commercial contexts, various licensing approaches, and strategies for effective negotiations.
