Advised consumer electronics company on the 5G SEP landscape and royalty stack

A large, international consumer electronics company that is frequently engaged in SEP licensing hired Stout to provide a detailed report on the current state of the 5G standard and patent landscape, an assessment of the 5G royalty stack applicable to multi-mode smartphones, and customized reports to address specific licensors. Stout’s report allows our client to exploit identified weaknesses in the licensor’s portfolio during negotiations and provide well-supported and fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) counteroffers.
