In 2026, the industry enters the era of NR-V2X, and with it, the most aggressive telecom SEP enforcement the automotive world has ever seen.
As Nokia, Sisvel, InterDigital, Huawei, and other SEP owners intensify lawsuits against automakers and suppliers, the gap is widening between companies that understand cellular licensing and those who are about to face injunctions, supply chain shutdowns, and multimillion-dollar royalty shocks.
GreyB uncovers the signals, risks, and blind spots in the V2X licensing ecosystem, offering exclusive insights that will define who wins and who gets sued in 2026 and beyond.
102,644
declared 4G/5G SEP families, automakers are suddenly exposed to.
18%
SEPs actually relevant to V2X. The rest is noise that licensors may still leverage.
43.6%
of V2X-relevant SEPs are outside Avanci, driving out-of-pool lawsuits.
The Industry Is Moving Faster Than Automotive Can Keep Up
As Tesla faces InterDigital and Nokia across the US, UK, and Germany…
As Geely defends against 5G SEP lawsuits in the Unified Patent Court…
As Ford confronts Sisvel in the US ITC…
As Daimler got cornered in Germany over LTE telematics…
One thing is becoming unmistakably clear:
Automotive companies are not prepared for telecom-grade licensing and litigation.
The race toward NR-V2X in 2026 will widen this gap even further, especially as Release 16/17 features (sidelink, beam mobility, cooperative perception) attract new patents and new lawsuits.
This Webinar Will Help You Answer
- Where are telecom giants like Nokia, Huawei, InterDigital, and Qualcomm applying pressure, and what gaps can you close before they reach you?
- Which SEP owners outside Avanci (43.6% of the market) pose the highest 2026 litigation threat?
- How do the lawsuits against Tesla, Geely, Daimler, and Ford reveal the structural weaknesses in automotive licensing strategy?
- Which parts of the V2X stack, PC5 sidelink, NR-V2X scheduling, beam-based mobility, and cooperative perception carry the heaviest SEP risk?
- How can you identify the 18,903 core V2X SEPs that matter (and ignore the 80,000+ that don’t)?
- Which licensing strategy, Avanci, direct negotiation, supplier-level indemnity, or cross-licensing, will actually protect your 2026 launches?
For the Teams Building the Next Generation of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
Register now to uncover where automakers are dangerously unprepared, how to identify unseen SEP risks in V2X, and how you can fortify your 2026 strategy while others walk blindly into litigation.
