This study investigates the patent situation for the 5G standard.
However, patent owners have the right to request royalties for SEPs and any implementer has to pay a license fee in order to implement 3G, 4G or in the future 5G.
The study is based on publicly declared patents and submitted standards contributions that were identified for the 5G standard.
Still patent declaration data is the best source to identify all potential essential 5G patents.
Both information on the patent data and the standards data were correlated to identify only 5G relevant information.
The method of how to identify 5G patents and standards contributions was discussed and verified by a consortium of patent and standards industry experts that supported this study with technical expertise.
The results of this study show that the 5G standard is highly patented.
Most 5G patents where declared between 2017 and 2019 showing a sharp increase year by year.
And as the 5G standard development is not yet completed further patent declarations are expected in the upcoming years.
This study also investigated companies’ participation in the standards development, where technical contributions submitted to the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) – the standard body that develops telecommunication standards such as 3G, 4G and 5G – were counted and analyzed.
This patent platform licenses 2G, 3G and 4G SEPs for the use of these patents in the automotive space and the IoT space.
For licensors in the automotive space or for licensors of any IoT applications it remains to be seen if there will be a patent licensing program for 5G and also if a majority of the SEP owners will join.
Otherwise 5G implementors will have to negotiate licenses with each individual patent owner.
This 5G patent study is fact finding.
The 5G patent study is based on publicly declared patents and submitted standards contributions that were identified for the 5G standard.
