Case Study: Contribution Analysis

Challange Our Approach Outcome

A top-tier telecommunications company sought our expertise to maximize the value of their 5G SEP portfolio. They faced intense competition in the rapidly evolving 5G landscape and needed to strengthen their position in licensing negotiations, optimize R&D investments, and maintain their technological edge in the industry.

Our team implemented a multi-faceted approach to conduct this comprehensive 5G SEP contribution analysis:

Standard Mapping: We performed an extensive mapping of the 5G standards, identifying critical technical features, protocols, and requirements across all relevant specifications.

Patent Claim Analysis: Our experts meticulously examined each patent claim, comparing them against the 5G standard specifications to assess technical relevance, implementation necessity, and overall contribution to the standard.

Contribution Scoring: We developed and applied a proprietary scoring system to quantify each patent's relative importance to the 5G standard, considering factors such as technical merit, breadth of applicability, and forward citations.

Portfolio Comparison: Our AI-powered analytics platform benchmarked the client's SEP portfolio against key competitors, providing a clear picture of relative strengths and market positioning.

Future Trend Analysis: We conducted in-depth market research to identify emerging 5G applications and use cases, allowing us to assess the future value potential of the SEP portfolio.

Our comprehensive analysis delivered actionable insights and tangible benefits:

  • 35% increase in licensing revenue within the first year, driven by data-backed negotiations
  • Successfully negotiated favorable cross-licensing agreements with three major competitors, leveraging our comparative portfolio strength analysis
  • Identified 8 previously undervalued patents with high essentiality to key 5G features, significantly enhancing the client's negotiating position
  • Refocused R&D efforts based on gap analysis, resulting in 4 new potentially standard-essential innovations within 18 months
  • Elevated the client's status in 5G standards development organizations, with 2 of their engineers elected to leadership positions in key working groups
  • Provided a clear roadmap for future SEP development, aligning with projected high-value 5G applications in IoT, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation
