What is the licensing framework of standard essential patents
(SEPs) for connectivity standards such as 5G and Wi-Fi? How will
the framework change with the Internet of Things (IoT)? This book
provides comprehensive answers to these questions. For over two
decades, connectivity standards have been the subject of litigation
and controversy around the globe. Now, with the introduction of 5G
and the emergence of the world of connected objects, or the IoT,
the licensing framework for SEPs is becoming even more contentious.
In order to bring clarity to the debate, this book analyses and
explains key components of a fair, reasonable and
non-discriminatory (FRAND) licence for SEPs; clarifies the
economic, policy and market background of SEP disputes; examines
the interrelated application of contract, patent and competition
laws; and describes the approaches by courts and regulators in the
EU, US and the UK. Importantly, the book also assesses how the
experience from the smartphone and ICT industries can be applied in
a new environment of the IoT, and considers what needs to be
changed in the future SEP licensing landscape. The book provides a
holistic coverage of SEP licensing issues in an attempt to reduce
uncertainty within this highly complex and technical area, and will
be useful to practitioners, policy makers, SMEs and large
technology companies in the IoT, as well as academics interested in
the field.
