The major challenges faced by Corporates
There is no easy and reliable method to identify patents that are declared as standards. Several companies have a tendency of over declaring their patents as standards to get an edge above their competitors in the cut-throat SEP race. Various law firms and database companies charge whooping amount of money to correctly assure whether a patent declared as SEP is actually a standard essential patent or not. Plus, they take a lot of time in identifying and proving in accurately identifying the essentiality of all the patents in the portfolio of different companies.
Some open questions yet to be unearthed in the SEP space
- Are companies acquiring new start-ups who have standard essential patents to bolster their innovation pipeline?
- How can companies identify emerging start-ups in the telecom standard space and fund them much before their competitors can?
- Can a patent declared as standard be invalidated? What are the ways to do that?
- Can a claim chart made on a declared standard against an SEP patent be rebutted? What all arguments need to be filed for the claim chart rebuttal?
