Over 70,000 6G patent applications have already surfaced.
But with no finalized standards, how do you know what’s truly “essential”?
Patent too early – Your portfolio may become irrelevant.
Wait too long – Your competitors will lead 6G.
Licensing uncertainty, geopolitical fragmentation, and shifting standardization timelines are already complicating the path forward.
So, what’s the right step?
What the Data Says
- $1.25 Trillion: Expected global economic impact of 6G by 2030
- 40% of early 6G SEPs are already being filed by just five players
- 2028: Target year for early commercial 6G deployment
- TR 28.908 V18.1.0 and TS 38.300 V18.5.0 (2025-03) already reference AI/ML, context reporting, XR, and NTN—technologies likely to persist into 6G
- Huawei is doubling down on Channel Coding and NTN while simultaneously exploring Quantum Comms, RIS, and AI-based radio tech
This Webinar Will Help You
Avoid Patent Pitfalls in a Pre-Standard World
When no one knows what will become “essential,” patenting blindly is risky. Learn why to file in domains like AI-native interfaces, ISAC, and NTN, which are already showing up in 3GPP specs like TR 28.908 and TS 38.300.
Identify High-Traction Technologies Before They’re Canon
Why are Distributed AI in RAN and ISAC emerging as high-IP-density domains? Because leaders like Huawei are doubling down on Channel Coding, NTN, and simultaneously exploring Quantum Comms, RIS, and AI-based radio tech.
We’ll show you how to spot similar early-stage tech where IP activity and alliance alignment intersect, before they become crowded.
Track Who’s Shaping the 6G Standards and How
It’s not just about filing patents. It’s about influencing what gets standardized. Companies contributing to 3GPP Release 20/21, especially in areas like context monitoring, XR, and network automation, are effectively shaping what “essential” will mean tomorrow. We’ll show you how to track these movers and position your own contributions.
Build the Right Partnerships for Speed and Relevance
Companies like InterDigital and Nokia aren’t going it alone. They’re accelerating innovation by co-developing with NYU Wireless, UC San Diego, and IIT Kanpur. Learn how to build similar academic and institutional alliances that boost your innovation pipeline and increase the chance of your IP aligning with future standards.
Stay Ahead with Continuous SEP Intelligence
With over 70,000 6G patent applications already filed, how do you ensure your next one is relevant? We’ll share a system for tracking SEP filings, monitoring litigation signals, and mapping standardization updates so you can adjust your strategy in real time, not in hindsight.
