WIPO Expands PATENTSCOPE SEP Coverage Beyond 450,000 Patent Records

WIPO expanded standard-essential patent data in PATENTSCOPE. The database now covers more than 450,000 distinct patent records across ETSI, IEEE and ITU-related SEP collections, while adding further verified essentiality information.

Expanded SEP data increases the visibility of patent portfolios surrounding technical standards. For companies in telecom and other standards-driven industries, the ability to connect standards, patents, families and essentiality information is increasingly important for licensing, competitive intelligence and SEP strategy.
