Most standard setting organizations require their members to agree to license their standard essential patents (SEPs) on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms. But there is no bright-line rule for determining whether a particular license (or attempt to negotiate a license) complies with such requirements, and reasonable minds may differ. Without proper planning, both SEP owners and implementers can find themselves in licensing minefields.
On May 15, please join Principals Benjamin Elacqua, Scott Flanz, Christopher Green, and Whitney Reichel for the second installment of our “Analyzing SEPs” series, a discussion of SEP negotiations, licensing, and litigation. Our hosts will cover the following topics:
- SEP license negotiations and pre-litigation strategies to avoid litigation
- Early due diligence and risk assessment
- Offensive and defensive portfolio management
- Understanding the future impact of negotiated licenses
- Strategies for offensive and defensive negotiations and litigation
We hope you will join us!
