5G SEP Transparency Project (5GTP):
Make informed decisions about 5G SEPs

As 5G technology transforms markets from mobile devices to automotive, IoT, computing, communications, network infrastructure and more, we are working to reduce the confusion around the 5G SEP landscape. By facilitating a non-partisan, collaborative, comprehensive perspective on 5G declared SEPs, we create visibility into the landscape of patents relevant for IP executives making SEP licensing, IP strategy, and other high-stakes decisions.

Not at this time, but client technology developers, adopters, users, and patentees may.  Our offerings may expand in the future to accommodate others.

IP strategists, portfolio developers / managers, licensing executives, litigators and patent transaction executives working in technology developers, adopters, users and patentees are among the most likely users.
