Standards
Overview
As technology has become increasingly more sophisticated, industry standards were created, in part, to enable interoperability of components of complex technologies. Navigating standards, standards developing organization (SDO) compliance, and patent pools can be just as complex as the technology. We’re here to help.
Volpe Koenig’s attorneys, agents and advisors have a robust understanding of the standards and the technologies behind them, especially wireless communication standards. Our professionals have extensive experience working with common communication standards such as:
- 3GPP 5G, LTE, LTE-A
- WCDMA, and GSM
- CDMA2000 1xRTT, EVDO
- IEEE 802.11 WiFi
- HDMI
- Video Codecs, H.264, H.265, MPEG4
- DSL and MoCA
Our electrical technology professionals work closely with many clients who participate in SDOs. We understand how critical the timing of standards contributions can be to their adoption. We know the unique prior art issues presented by prior versions and releases of standards. In addition to preparing claim charts to various standards, our professionals recognize the challenges in crafting detectable claims that cover various implementations of a standardized technology. We also have experience assisting clients with their declaration of essential intellectual property rights (IPR) to SDOs.
