How to access the SEP Database
What is the SEP Database?
The SEP or Standard Essential Patent Database within the IPlytics Platform is an essential tool for navigating the intricate world of patents that are crucial for implementing standardized technologies.
The SEP database is specifically designed to provide a comprehensive view of declared SEPs, which are patents deemed necessary for compliance with industry standards such as 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and more.
By integrating data from over 120 million patents, 4 million standards contributions, and 300,000 declared and pooled patents, the SEP Database offers a detailed and interconnected perspective on the global patent landscape. Users can access information on standard setting organizations, licensing commitments, and patent pools, enabling them to understand the relationships between patents and standards.
How often is it updated?
The database is weekly updated to ensure data accuracy and reliability, and it employs advanced methods to match declared patents to relevant standards and technology generations. With its robust search and analysis capabilities, the IPlytics SEP Database empowers users to make informed decisions about licensing, litigation, and strategic investments in the ever-evolving field of standardized technologies.
