Assymetry

The information asymmetry in Patent licensing

Licensors have teams, data, and decades of experience. You have a demand letter and a deadline. The cost of independent analysis shouldn't exceed the cost of compliance.

Essentiality is accepted on faith

Up to 80% of patents are not essential. Most implementers lack the resources to verify independently — so they sign. Information asymmetry is the defining problem in SEP licensing.

Traditional advisory takes months

Full essentiality analysis requires mapping patent claims to technical specs line by line. Law firms charge €10K per patent and deliver in weeks. Only well-resourced companies can afford to push back.

Standards data is practically inaccessible

3GPP specs span thousands of documents across releases, RFCs, and contribution records. The data is buried — a maze without the right tools.

Solution

From demand letter to defensible position.

Years of patent litigation expertise encoded into agentic ai technology. Our analyses are grounded in high-quality standard databases and signed-off by accredited UPC litigators. Evidence you can act on.

Landscape Triage

We assess the FRAND demand and map the asserted portfolio on the standard landscape. identify pressure points, and prioritize the patents that matter most to the SEP owner.

Claim Mapping

Our SEP agent constructs a detailed claim-to-specification mapping across all related standards. An independent essentiality view, grounded in evidence with 100% citations.

Challenge Layer

A separate review layer tests the mapping for non-use, optionality, sustainable claim construction, and invalidity grounded in the standardization record — surfacing litigation squeeze positions.

Defense & Negotiation Strategy

Litigators translate the analysis into a defensible position: which patents to challenge, which to concede, how to counter-offer, and continued support throughout the FRAND negotiation.

Where you are

Find the entry point that fits.

Most clients arrive at different moments of urgency. Pick the posture closest to yours.

Do not sign before you know what you are paying for.

We run a 48-hour triage on the asserted portfolio. You get a fixed-cost quote, an essentiality & invalidity view for each patent, and a recommendation on which patents to challenge before the response deadline.
