The number of patent families declared to standardization bodies as standard essential (SEP), meaning those that have to be practiced
by anyone implementing the 5G standards, has already reached the tens of thousands. There is considerable debate as to which company has the highest number of SEPs but it is clear that several of the most active have thousands of patents. Some of them include Ericsson, Huawei, LG, Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, Qualcomm, Samsung and ZTE. Patent declarations are being lodged in myriad realms, from radio layer designs and architecture to security, smart cards and applications. |
