SEP/FRAND Hub 2023/2024

Standard-essential patents are so vital to technological developments that standards bodies have long stipulated that they must be licensed in a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) way. Precisely how those terms should be interpreted – and how much licensees should pay – have sparked ground-breaking battles between originators and implementors around the world. The IAM/GCR SEP/FRAND Hub provides practical and timely guidance – through comprehensive Overviews and regular Updates on the latest cases – for practitioners on both sides of the divide trying to navigate this fast-moving space.
