Introduction
PatSeer has an extensive Standard Essential Patent (SEP) collection of In-house curated SEP declarations across different Standard Setting Organizations (SSO) for rapidly developing fields such as telecommunications, semiconductors, electronics, etc.
The following SEP infographics give an overview of patenting trends, top SSOs, companies, and technologies as indexed in PatSeer.
The majority of the SEPs are declared for large standards projects such as 5G, LTE, GSM, and UMTS set at the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The trends reveal that the share of declared SEPs from Chinese and Korean companies has been surging steadily, especially in the telecommunications sector.
The research around autonomous vehicles and vehicle to grid communication has emerged in the last 5 years in sync with the top standard technologies like LTE or 5G. These technologies form the basis for the vehicle to vehicle communication.
