What Is an SEP Claim Chart?
An SEP claim chart is a structured technical analysis that maps relevant patent claim limitations against potentially relevant portions of a technical standard or specification, supported by technical evidence and analytical rationale based on the agreed project scope.
Hashi IP Solutions provides SEP claim charting as a technical analysis service for organizations evaluating patents in standards-driven technologies.
When Do You Need an SEP Claim Chart?
Claim charts are typically commissioned when an important business, licensing or portfolio decision requires claim-level technical evidence.
Licensing Preparation
What technical evidence supports the relationship between the patent and the standard?
Organize claim-level mapping for internal technical and licensing analysis.
Portfolio Acquisition & Due Diligence
What is behind the patent count?
Evaluate selected assets using claim-level technical evidence.
Competitor SEP Analysis
What technologies and standards are competitors potentially targeting?
Analyze claim-level technical positioning and specification relationships.
Patent Monetization
Which assets should be prioritized for deeper commercial evaluation?
Use structured technical mapping to support portfolio prioritization.
Large-Scale Patent Analysis
How do you scale claim analysis across hundreds or thousands of patents?
Combine AI-assisted candidate mapping with expert review workflows.
A Claim Chart Is More Than a Spreadsheet.
A keyword match is not claim-level evidence.
A commercially useful SEP claim chart requires more than identifying similar terminology. Each relevant claim limitation must be analyzed in the context of the technical concepts and supporting specification evidence.

What Is the Difference Between a Patent Claim Chart and an SEP Claim Chart?
Patent Claim Chart
May analyze claims against:
- products
- processes
- technical documents
- prior art
- other technical evidence
SEP Claim Chart
Focuses on:
- patent claims
- claim limitations
- technical standards
- specifications
- clauses or sections
- technical evidence
- claim-to-standard relationships
SEP claim charting specifically addresses the relationship between patent claims and standards-related technical requirements within the defined project scope.
Technology scope
Built for Standards-Driven Technologies
Telecommunications
2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / 5G-Advanced / emerging 6G technologies.
3GPP
Technical specifications, releases and relevant technical documentation.
Wi-Fi / IEEE
Relevant IEEE and wireless standards.
O-RAN
Open RAN architecture and interface technologies.
Automotive Connectivity
C-V2X and related connected mobility technologies.
Semiconductors
Relevant interface, memory, chiplet and computing standards.
Project scope can be defined based on the relevant patent set, technology area and technical documentation.
Patent-to-Standard Mapping Requires Technical Context
A meaningful mapping depends on understanding both the language of the patent claim and the technical context of the relevant specification. Where applicable, analysis may consider:
- standard specifications
- relevant releases or versions
- technical sections
- clauses
- technical requirements
- implementation concepts
- supporting technical references
Sources considered vary depending on project scope and available technical documentation.

FAQ
SEP Claim Charting FAQs
What is an SEP claim chart?+
An SEP claim chart is a structured analysis that maps relevant patent claim limitations against potentially relevant portions of a technical standard or specification, supported by technical evidence and analysis based on the project scope.
What is the difference between a patent claim chart and an SEP claim chart?+
A patent claim chart may compare claims against products, processes, technical documents or other evidence. An SEP claim chart focuses specifically on analyzing the relationship between patent claims and relevant technical standards or specifications.
Can AI create an SEP claim chart?+
AI can assist with claim decomposition, technical concept analysis, candidate evidence retrieval and preliminary claim-to-specification alignment. Expert review remains important for evaluating technical context and the analytical basis of the mapping.
Can Hashi IP Solutions analyze 3GPP and 5G patents?+
Hashi IP Solutions can scope standards-related patent analysis based on the relevant patent set, technology area, technical documentation and project objective.
Can you analyze a large SEP portfolio?+
For larger portfolios, AI-assisted workflows can support claim decomposition, candidate mapping and prioritization. The appropriate workflow depends on the portfolio size, technology domain and intended analysis.
How do I request an SEP claim chart?+
Submit your patent or portfolio details, relevant technology or standard and project objective through the request form. The project can then be scoped based on the required analysis and deliverables.
What information do you need to prepare an SEP claim chart?+
The required information depends on the project scope. Typically, the analysis can be scoped using the relevant patent or patent family, technology area, applicable standard or technical documentation and the intended business objective.
Can SEP claim charting be performed across multiple patents?+
Yes. Multiple-patent projects can be scoped for structured claim-to-specification analysis, with the workflow adapted to portfolio size, technology domain, technical documentation and intended use.
Does an SEP claim chart establish legal essentiality?+
A technical claim chart can document the relationship between claim limitations and potentially relevant standard requirements within the defined scope. It should not be presented as an independent legal determination of essentiality.
What technologies can be considered for SEP claim charting?+
Projects can be scoped for standards-driven technologies such as telecommunications, 3GPP cellular technologies, Wi-Fi/IEEE, O-RAN, automotive connectivity and relevant semiconductor technologies, depending on the patent set and technical documentation.
