Practice · Standards & Mapping

Map patents to the standards that define your industry.

We identify standard-essential patents, build evidence-grade claim charts, and map portfolios to products and specifications across telecommunications, multimedia, semiconductor, wireless power, OPC/UA, and other critical standards bodies.

Business problems

Where teams get stuck.

  • 01

    Uncertainty about which patents are truly essential to a given standard release.

  • 02

    Claim charts that fail evidentiary standards in licensing or courtroom review.

  • 03

    Product-level infringement mapping that lacks source-code, teardown, or spec traceability.

  • 04

    Manual, months-long essentiality reviews across 3GPP, IEEE, MPEG, and JEDEC releases.

Standards covered

Domain expertise across the standards ecosystem.

From 3GPP releases to JEDEC memory specifications, we map patents to the standards that shape your markets.

Our solution

Standards intelligence — engineered for licensing and enforcement.

Our standards team pairs former SEP litigators, protocol engineers, and AI models trained on 3GPP, ETSI, IEEE, ITU, MPEG, JEDEC, and OPC/UA corpora. Every essentiality opinion is grounded in specification text, contribution history, and expert claim construction — designed to hold up in negotiation and court.

  • Coverage across telecommunications, multimedia, semiconductor, wireless power, and industrial-automation standards.
  • Two-analyst + reviewer model with documented essentiality rationale.
  • Agentic AI accelerates claim-to-spec matching; humans validate and sign off.
  • Deliverables sized for pool submissions, licensing decks, and litigation exhibits.

Offerings

What we deliver in this practice.

01

SEP Identification

Portfolio-wide essentiality review against active and upcoming standard releases.

02

Claim Charts

Evidence-grade charts mapping claim elements to specification text and contributions.

03

Product-to-Patent Mapping

Infringement charts against commercial products with teardown and source evidence.

04

Standards Tracking

Continuous monitoring of contributions, releases, and specification changes.

05

Portfolio Rationalisation

Prune non-essential assets and prioritise high-value SEP families.

06

Licensing Support

Chart packages, technical narratives, and expert testimony support for licensing.

Methodology

A defined operating model, engineered for defensibility.

01

Scope

Align on standards, releases, and licensing or enforcement objectives.

02

Extract

AI-assisted extraction of claim elements and specification mappings.

03

Chart

Expert analysts build claim charts grounded in spec, contributions, and prior evidence.

04

Validate

Independent senior reviewer signs off on essentiality and evidentiary quality.

05

Deliver

Structured deliverables ready for pool, licensing, or court use.

Deliverables

Every engagement ships evidence, not opinions.

  • Essentiality rating with rationale for every patent family reviewed
  • Claim charts (element-by-element) with linked specification excerpts
  • Product mapping charts with teardown / source-code citations
  • Standards tracking dashboard with release-by-release change logs
  • Executive briefing deck sized for licensing negotiations

FAQ

Questions our clients ask most often.

Which standards do you cover?+

We cover 3GPP (2G–6G), IEEE 802.11 and 802.15, ITU-T video codecs (H.264/265/266), MPEG audio and video, DVB, JEDEC memory, wireless power (Qi, AirFuel), OPC/UA, Bluetooth, UWB, and emerging standards such as Wi-Fi 7 and Matter.

Can you support pool submissions?+

Yes — we regularly prepare essentiality opinions and charts submitted to major SEP pools, and interface directly with pool evaluators.

How is AI used without compromising defensibility?+

AI accelerates element extraction and spec matching. Every chart is authored and signed off by senior human analysts before delivery.

Do you support litigation?+

Yes — product mapping, invalidity, and technical expert support for both plaintiffs and defendants in SEP litigation.
