Overview
A global semiconductor leader wanted to strengthen its SEP portfolio and increase monetization through 4G and 5G SEPs. With a vast collection of patents across multiple geographies and technologies, the company needed expert eyes to identify the strongest ones, build compelling claim charts, validate essentiality, and ensure smooth internal and external approval for licensing and enforcement.
Challenge
The client needed:
A deep dive into its SEP portfolio to find patents that met 4G and 5G essentiality standards
Clear, well-structured claim charts that met the patent pool operator’s requirements.
A team that could handle back-and-forth discussions and refine submissions to improve acceptance.
How Lumenci Helped
Lumenci brought expertise and precision to the process, ensuring only the most valuable patents made the cut.
Our work included:
Patent Selection & Validation: Evaluated SEPs against 4G and 5G standards to identify the most valuable assets
Claim Chart Development: Lumenci ensured each SEP was clearly mapped to relevant technical standards
End-to-End Support: Worked closely with the patent pool operator, addressing feedback and refining submissions to improve approval rates.
Impact
- SEP Pool Success: 12 out of 18 submitted SEPs were accepted, with discussions ongoing for the rest
- Revenue Growth: The client is set to generate significant licensing revenue.
- Stronger Collaboration: Impressed by our expertise, the company wants Lumenci to play a bigger role in future patent pool contributions.
