Strengthening 5G Patent Portfolios Through Strategic SEP Acquisitions

Strengthening 5G Patent Portfolios Through Strategic SEP Acquisitions

Value Delivered

The strategic SEP acquisition approach enabled the client to significantly enhance their 5G patent portfolio by identifying key Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) from potential sellers.

This acquisition fortified their market position and improved their leverage in cross-licensing negotiations with top SEP holders.

Problems Solved

The client, lacking a strong 5G SEP portfolio, faced the risk of sharing substantial profits with major SEP holders in the telecom sector. Their R&D team struggled to generate enough SEPs, putting them at a competitive disadvantage, which prompted them to seek external solutions to expand their portfolio.

Solution Offered

GreyB deployed a comprehensive strategy using patent landscape analysis and their proprietary AI SEP Predictor tool. This tool analyzed thousands of patents, including those from universities and lesser-known companies, to identify valuable 5G SEPs with a high probability of success. For instance, by evaluating Ofinno’s portfolio, the tool revealed patents with a 90%+ SEP probability, making them ideal candidates for acquisition. GreyB also applied a probability scoring model to prioritize sellers motivated to part with their IP, enabling the client to focus on potential high-value transactions.

By identifying and acquiring these “gem patents,” the client strengthened its SEP portfolio, increased its negotiation power, and secured a more favorable position in the competitive 5G landscape.

Acquiring SEPs is essential to remain competitive in the 5G market. GreyB’s strategic approach and advanced tools provide a roadmap for identifying and securing key patents that can drive significant business value.
