One Report to Meet All Strategic Needs

Data-Driven, Correlated, Objective, and Defensible Analysis. The true inventory of Standard Essential Patents and technical influence

Expose 82% Declaration Noise

Filters over 100,000 4G/5G SEPs to the 18,903 core IoT families, proving only 18.4% are core to specialized standards.

Measure True 3GPP Authority

Analyzes and filters 3GPP standards contributions to quantify technical leadership, not just legal declarations
strategyCreated with Sketch.

Build a Defensible Strategy

Correlates patent ownership with technical contribution to form an objective, defensible basis for portfolio valuation and risk mitigation.

Map Core Player Concentration

Identifies the three-way global race in NB-IoT and highlights where innovation is focused (e.g., 90% in hardware/networking for NB-IoT).

Track Standard Maturation Rate

Details the lifecycle of each standard, e.g., NB-IoT moved from an innovation peak in 2016 to a phase of stability and refinement.

Translate Data Into Dollars

Offers a proposed licensing framework and a strategic guide to clarify market complexity to inform competitive strategy.

Technical Papers Analyzed

  • Analyzed 3GPP docs from 2009 to 2025.
  • Rigorously removed administrative noise.

The Strategic Outcome: Objective Technical Leadership

This rigorous, data-driven correlation identifies the true technical leaders in the IoT domain, forming the **objective basis for licensing strategy, M&A due diligence, and portfolio prioritization.**

Cellular IoT Landscape: Decoding the Fog

🗺️ Decoding the Cellular IoT Landscape

Data-Driven Methodology Beyond the "Declaration Fog"

1. The Patent Layer: Quantifying Core Value

Initial Patent Pool vs. the Core SEPs relevant to specialized IoT functions (NB-IoT, LTE-M, RedCap, V2X). The "Noise" is the true obstacle to valuation.

Total Declared Families: 100,000+

81.1% of declared families are non-core "Declaration Noise".

2. The Standards Layer: Measuring Technical Authority

Analysis of 3GPP technical contribution documents (2009-2025) to measure true R&D investment and technical influence across the four key verticals.

KEY INSIGHT: The data reveals a significant difference between claimed legal ownership (patent declarations) and demonstrated technical contribution (standards documents). V2X, while not the largest patent pool focus, shows the highest R&D intensity.
