The telecommunications industry relies on technical standards like 5G to ensure seamless interoperability and innovation. Patents that are crucial to these standards are classified as Standard Essential Patents (SEPs).Â
However, a major challenge in the industry is over-declaration, where patents are inaccurately claimed as essential. This inflates patent portfolios, complicates licensing negotiations, and disrupts technological progress.
Studies reveal the extent of SEP over-declaration:
Less than 50% of declared SEPs were essential.
Only 25%-40% of patents listed as SEPs were truly essential.
The essentiality rate is as low as 15%, highlighting the need for accurate verification.
TT Consultants conducted an internal study using Standigger LLM on a subset of declared SEPs and found that only 40% qualified as true SEPs.
To combat SEP over-declaration, TT Consultants developed Standigger LLM, an AI-powered tool designed to precisely map patents to technical standards and verify their essentiality.
Accurate Patent-to-Standard Mapping
AI-Driven Essentiality Verification to Declared Standards
Time & Cost Efficiency
Faster Processing
The full specification ensured a complete context, strengthening evidence of essentiality for potential SEPs.
Higher Accuracy
AI insights are cross-checked with expert evaluations, reducing misclassifications.
Optimized Resources
Combining AI efficiency with human expertise minimizes time and cost burdens.
SEP over-declaration creates inefficiencies in licensing and innovation. Standigger LLM addresses this challenge with AI-driven precision, improving essentiality checks and promoting fairer, more transparent SEP management. By integrating AI with expert analysis, TT Consultants provides a cutting-edge solution to streamline patent evaluation in the telecommunications industry.
