Standard Essential Patents should be licensed on Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory terms. How?
The rates should reflect the value of the invention only, no more, no less.
Licenses for SEPs should be available at any point in the value chain.
Transparency should be encouraged to create greater predictability and avoid discrimination.
A FRAND rate must take into account the overall royalty that could be reasonably charged for all SEPs.
The FRAND commitment must follow
the SEP in transfers.
Injunctions should only be available in
exceptional circumstances.
Our members are the beating heart of IoT innovation: from SMEs to multinational brands, and including SEP holders as well as SEP implementers.
FSA members benefit from the knowledge and activities of an association focused on the promotion of policy principles for FRAND licensing.
