Trends & Issues with Strategic Patent Management for Mobile Communication Technologies Nov. 11 2009

Abstract We are now eye witnessing the dawning of 4 th generation mobile evolution era. Technology innovations have been the key enabler for the mobile evolution, and IPRs for technology innovations were at the heart of mobile business. Thus, as the starting of worldwide commercial services and standardization by ITU, it will be timely matter to review the current trends and issues with IPRs for emerging 4G mobile technologies. In parallel with the current increasing interests in 4G mobile IPRs, we analyze the IPRs for LTE, which is one of emerging 4G mobile technologies, as a case study. In this presentation, we show the result of analysis for LTE IPR landscape, the case study for the strategic management of LTE patent portfolios, licensing issues such as patent pool royalties, and NPE related problems.
