As we reach the midpoint of 2022, it is more important than ever to look back and carefully assess 4G data to help guide economically rational practices in a 5G (and coming 6G ) world. With our 4G-5G landscape, we aimed to start a public discussion on what patent families are truly global (and deserving of premium FRAND rates) versus what patent families are merely regional and national, as well as what assets map to which technical specifications (“TSs”), how the TSs rank in terms of technical contribution, and whether and why that matters.
This 4G-5G SEP landscape update provides a fresh set of statistics related to 4G-5G SEPS for use by the community of patent holders and implementers to keep the conversation going while starting to delve into more sophisticated groupings and analysis of such SEPs informed both by recent court decisions and the global marketplace of licensors and licensees. This iteration of the report covers the patent landscape through the end of 2021.

Notes on the 4G-5G Patent Landscape:
This free report aims to helps business, legal, and technology leadership in Companies assess threats, opportunities, and the overall state of the market. The report breaks what we believe to be new ground in creating readily understandable value metrics based on the twin premises that: (a) geographic coverage matters; and (b) technology matters (not all technological developments are equal). Like sabermetrics revolutionized baseball and other markets, Tech+IP proposes, and now tracks, a more sophisticated framework for understanding 4G-5G SEPs and their impact in global markets.
