Patent owners that participate in standards organizations often undertake obligations to license standards essential patents (SEPs) on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions (F/RAND). Evaluating those terms or negotiating licenses for SEPs requires experience in negotiating a wide variety of patent licenses and an understanding of the relevant patent policies, the expectations of the parties and the standard organization's members, as well as an understanding of the standardized technology. JusTech Law offers clients this uncommon combination of experience ensuring that our clients have effective counsel and other support during standards development, post adoption licensing, and litigation.
