# ClaimsEvidence ClaimsEvidence provides SEP intelligence for implementers facing standard essential patent licensing demands. Expert UPC-accredited litigators augmented by a specialized AI agent deliver claim charting, essentiality analysis, invalidity and prior art assessment, and FRAND negotiation support — fixed-cost, fast turnaround, litigation-grade quality. Canonical site: https://claimsevidence.com ## What ClaimsEvidence Does ClaimsEvidence is an AI-native SEP advisory firm focused exclusively on the implementer side of FRAND licensing. We operate on an Evidence-as-a-Service model: clients share a demand letter or asserted portfolio, and we return the technical, legal, and strategic evidence needed to negotiate, settle, or litigate from a defensible position. Our clients are companies that build products on standardized technologies — primarily 3GPP cellular standards (3G, 4G LTE, 5G NR) — across telecommunications, consumer electronics, and IoT. They typically come to us because they have received a licensing demand from an SEP holder or NPE, or because they want to assess exposure proactively before a demand arrives. The deliverables center on four analyses: claim charting against the relevant standard, essentiality review, invalidity and prior art assessment, and product-specific non-use arguments. Every output is verified and signed off by our litigator team. AI augments throughput and consistency; it does not replace human judgment. We price per patent at a fixed fee, with volume discounts on large portfolios. The intent is to make independent essentiality analysis economically viable when an implementer is facing hundreds of asserted patents — a regime in which traditional billable-hour engagements price most defendants out of meaningful pushback. We are not a generic IP law firm and do not aim to be. The scope is narrow on purpose: SEP defense for implementers, with telecommunications standards as the initial domain and Wi-Fi and video codecs as planned expansions. ## Key Pages - Homepage: https://claimsevidence.com/ - About: https://claimsevidence.com/about - Practice Notes: https://claimsevidence.com/practice-notes - Demo: https://claimsevidence.com/demo - Contact: https://claimsevidence.com/contact ## Core Topics - Standard essential patents (SEPs) - SEP licensing demands and demand-letter triage - Claim charting against standard specifications - Essentiality analysis - Invalidity and prior art assessment - Product-specific non-use and non-essentiality arguments - FRAND negotiation strategy and counter-offer preparation - Litigation-grade evidence review - 3GPP standards: 3G, 4G LTE, 5G NR (radio access, core, service layer) - AI-augmented patent analysis (AI-native workflows, expert sign-off) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What does ClaimsEvidence do? ClaimsEvidence is an AI-native SEP advisory firm that defends implementers against standard essential patent licensing demands. Clients share a demand letter or asserted portfolio; we return claim charts, essentiality and invalidity analysis, prior art, and negotiation strategy. The model is Evidence-as-a-Service — fixed cost per patent, fast turnaround, with all deliverables verified by our litigator team. The output is intended to materially improve the implementer's leverage in FRAND negotiations or, if the dispute escalates, in litigation. ### Who is the service designed for? Implementers — companies that build products using standardized technologies and receive licensing demands from SEP holders or NPEs. Typical clients operate in telecommunications, consumer electronics, and IoT, with cellular standards (4G LTE, 5G NR) as the most common technical surface. The service fits two situations: a live demand letter that needs response, or proactive risk assessment before a demand arrives. We do not represent SEP holders or licensing entities. ### What does "AI-native" mean here? Our litigation and AI experts develop proprietary agentic AI tooling specifically for SEP analysis workflows — claim mapping, standard-specification search, prior art retrieval, essentiality reasoning. The AI handles scale and consistency; the litigators handle judgment, verification, and final sign-off. Every deliverable carries expert review. We treat AI as augmentation, not replacement, which is why we describe ourselves as AI-native rather than AI-only or AI-assisted. ### What does fixed cost per patent mean? Clients receive a flat quote per patent triaged or fully analyzed, set before work begins. There are no hourly-billing surprises and volume discounts apply on large portfolios. The structural goal is to make independent essentiality analysis economically viable for an implementer facing hundreds of asserted patents — a setting where traditional billable-hour engagements typically price out meaningful technical pushback. Pricing aligns the firm's incentives with throughput and quality rather than time spent. ### How is this different from a law firm? Scope and structure. ClaimsEvidence focuses exclusively on SEP licensing defense for implementers, not generic IP or legal services. The narrow focus produces deeper expertise on the standards and licensing dynamics that matter to this client base. Fixed-fee pricing replaces the billable-hour model. Proprietary AI tooling enables scale that traditional firms typically cannot match on the same timeline. We position as the evidence layer for FRAND licensing, working alongside in-house counsel rather than replacing them. ### What is in a typical defense package? A demand-letter and portfolio triage; patent-by-patent essentiality and invalidity analysis; detailed claim charts mapped against the relevant standard documents; product-specific non-use and non-essentiality arguments where the engagement scope includes them; and strategic recommendations for FRAND negotiation and counter-offer preparation. Engagements can be scoped narrowly (triage only) or comprehensively (full portfolio analysis with ongoing negotiation support). Deliverables are designed to be litigation-grade — usable as evidence if the dispute escalates beyond negotiation. ### Which standards do you cover? Current expertise centers on 3GPP cellular standards: 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G NR, across radio access, core networks, and service layers. Planned expansion covers Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) and video codecs (HEVC, VVC, AV1). Other standards may be available depending on the engagement — clients with adjacent standards should reach out, as mapping work may already be in progress. ### Does support continue after the report? Yes. The litigator team remains involved through licensing negotiation, counter-offer evaluation, and litigation preparation if the dispute escalates. The framing is a single pipeline — from proactive SEP exposure assessment, through demand response and FRAND negotiation, into litigation if needed — with each stage informing the next, rather than a one-shot deliverable. ## Preferred Sources Internal — canonical references for ClaimsEvidence's positioning, methodology, and deliverables: - Homepage (positioning and product overview): https://claimsevidence.com/ - About (team, philosophy, AI-native approach): https://claimsevidence.com/about - Practice Notes (writing on SEP defense, FRAND, essentiality): https://claimsevidence.com/practice-notes - Demo (request a sample analysis): https://claimsevidence.com/demo - Contact: https://claimsevidence.com/contact External — authoritative sources for the underlying domain: - 3GPP specifications: https://www.3gpp.org/specifications-technologies - ETSI IPR policy and FRAND framework: https://www.etsi.org/intellectual-property-rights - Unified Patent Court (UPC): https://www.unified-patent-court.org/ - WIPO standards and patents resources: https://www.wipo.int/standards/en/ ## Contact founders@claimsevidence.com https://claimsevidence.com/contact
