The telecommunication industry is experiencing a new type of
competition among firms deploying different industrial and knowledge-based
business models within the same value chain. In relation to industry standards,
this has created a conflict between market actors over the value of the SEPs
that underpin the technical functions of these standards, in particular,
between firms with strong SEP portfolios and those implementing
standard-compliant products. This conflict has resulted in several recent cases
before the courts and competition authorities. This presentation will discuss
the value of SEPs within the context of the ongoing battle to define the
meaning of the FRAND commitments and discuss the potential consequences on firm
strategy, standardization, and economic efficiency.
The webinar is led by Bo Heiden, Deputy Director of the Center
for Intellectual Property at Chalmers University of Technology and will be held
on December 14, 2015 at 15.00 BST. A
