What is SEP Landscaping?
Standard Essential Patent (SEP) landscaping is a critical process in understanding the complex ecosystem of patents that are essential for implementing standardized technologies.
SEPs are patents that claim inventions that must be used to comply with a technical standard. These patents are crucial in industries such as telecommunications, where standards like 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and others are prevalent.

The SEP landscape provides insights into the distribution of patent ownership, the technological focus of different companies, and the potential for licensing and litigation.
By analyzing SEP data, companies can identify key players in the market, assess the competitive landscape, and make informed decisions about research and development, partnerships, and strategic investments.
The IPlytics Platform offers a comprehensive database and analytical tools to navigate the SEP landscape, providing access to worldwide patent data, declared SEPs, and standards documents. This enables users to perform detailed searches and analyses, helping them to understand the implications of SEPs on their business strategies and operations.
