Essential wireless patent reports

We offer a range of independent IPR reports that clarify the patent landscapes for wireless technologies. We evaluate all patents declared to standards bodies (including ETSI and ARIB) and some found through search against technical specifications to understand if they are essential, a useful implementation or not relevant. We identify the strengths of the companies that own them and are able to outline potential royalty rates.

We’re members of ETSI, the UMTS Forum and the WiMAX Forum. We are a well recognised independent source of information on the truly Essential patents in the wireless industry. Our reports are used by organisations involved in SEP licensing negotiation, litigation or arbitration.

ETSI standards reports

	5G report Report and database of patents reviewed for technical essentiality. Summarised results for each company and the entire 5G landscape based on extrapolation. Updated regularly.
	LTE (LTE-A) report Report and database with details of all (10000+) patents reviewed for technical essentiality. The report summarises the results for each company as well as the entire LTE landscape. Updated regularly.
	WCDMA/HSDPA report Report and database with details of all (~9500) patents reviewed for technical essentiality. The report summarises the results for each company as well as the entire WCDMA/HSDPA landscape.
	Cdma2000 1x/EV-DO Report and database with details of all patents reviewed for technical essentiality. The report summarises the results for each company as well as the entire cdma2000 landscape up to 2008.

IEEE and other reports

Provides estimate of the overall size of the patent landscape and the rate of essentiality overall.

	H.264/H.265 This report brings clarity to the H.264 and H.265 patent landscape (total number of patents and number of technically essential patents). The Essentiality review was done on a sample basis.
	IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) Accepted by Judge Holderman and provided central input into the determination of the appropriate RAND royalty rate for Innovatio IP Ventures, LLC’s WiFi-essential patent portfolio based on the number of potential SEPs. Same methodology as for H.264/H.265.
	IEEE 802.3 (PoE) This report brings clarity to the IEEE802.3 Power-over-Ethernet patent landscape (total number of patents and number of technically essential patents). The Essentiality review was done on a sample basis.
