Portfolio intelligence for a defined business decision
A declaration or connection to a specification does not establish that a patent is legally essential or valid. Landscape correlations are not formal essentiality determinations, infringement findings or freedom-to-operate conclusions.
Methodology
A Structured Approach to SEP Patent Landscape Analysis
01
Scope Definition
Agree standards, technologies, companies, jurisdictions, releases and the business questions.
02
Patent Dataset Development
Identify publications, consolidate families and review available standards-related declarations.
03
Standards & Technology Mapping
Correlate disclosures with specification versions, features and a documented taxonomy.
04
Portfolio & Competitive Analysis
Evaluate filing, ownership, distribution, technical coverage and relative positioning.
05
Reporting & Intelligence Delivery
Deliver technology maps, ownership views, comparative analytics and executive insights.
The scope and depth of technical mapping, claim-level analysis and standards correlation are defined according to the agreed research objectives and available source material.
Business intelligence & deliverables
What Your SEP Patent Landscape Report Delivers

info@hashiip.comQuestions & answers
SEP Landscape Questions From IP and Technology Teams
What is an SEP patent landscape?
It is a structured analysis of patent families, ownership and technology coverage associated with selected standards. It provides competitive and portfolio intelligence; inclusion does not establish legal essentiality or validity.
How is SEP patent landscape analysis conducted?
We define the scope, develop and curate a patent dataset, correlate technical disclosures with standards documentation, compare portfolios and deliver source-qualified reports and data.
How does an SEP landscape differ from a conventional patent landscape?
It adds standards specifications, releases, technical features and available declaration information to patent research. Standards correlation is distinct from a formal claim-by-claim essentiality determination.
How are 3GPP standards mapped with patent portfolios?
Relevant disclosures are classified against agreed technical features and version-specific specifications. Deeper claim-level analysis is separately scoped according to the objectives and available material.
Can an SEP landscape identify major patent holders?
It can identify prominent assignees within the defined dataset and examine traceable ownership records. Findings depend on source quality and inclusion criteria; volume does not establish essentiality, quality or a company’s share of all SEPs.
How does SEP landscape research support patent licensing strategy?
It highlights technology coverage, portfolio concentration and organizations for further research. Licensing decisions require additional patent-level, product, essentiality and legal analysis; a landscape does not promise revenue or establish infringement.
What information is included in an SEP landscape report?
The agreed scope may include a family database, technology matrix, ownership analysis, standards correlations, benchmarking, filing trends, candidate white spaces and an executive report with methodology and limitations.
How can companies use SEP landscape analysis for 5G and 6G?
Companies can compare 5G feature coverage and evaluate emerging 6G patent themes for R&D and portfolio planning. Evolving 6G research and draft material are clearly distinguished from adopted standards.
