88av 888

The spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) is continuing to cause major changes in licensing negotiations involving Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). Due to shorter product life cycles and an increasing number of patents, it has become much more difficult for companies in technological areas such as telecommunications to assess all of the relevant SEPs for their products prior to commercialization.

Various aspects of licensing negotiations are also changing. SEP licensing negotiations in the Information and Communication Technology (“ICT”) field, which traditionally took place chiefly among ICT companies, are now often undertaken between ICT companies and firms in other industries. Consequently, it is becoming harder to resolve disputes through cross-licensing. In addition, divergent perspectives on licensing rates are fostering unease over SEP-related negotiations and disputes.

As a result of these developments, the 88av 888 (JPO) created the 88av 888九一九色国产 in June 2018. The Guide aims to enhance transparency and predictability, facilitate negotiations between rights holders and implementers (patent users), and help prevent or quickly resolve disputes concerning SEPs.

In response to a growing number of court decisions and disputes between different industries, the JPO subsequently revised its 88av 888九一九色国产 in July 2022. In doing so, it took into account the recent court decisions and latest trends in various countries, as well as the opinions received from Japan and other countries through public consultations.

With SEP licensing negotiations continuing to become transformed, the JPO plans to review and revise this guide as appropriate. In doing so, it will strive to maintain an open and transparent process so that the guide will continue to evolve as a “living” document.
