Technology Patent Licensing

This product guides readers through the process of planning and implementing a patent licensing program. Using the mobile communications industry as an example, it covers topics such as the interaction of international technology standards and patent licensing; the three main types of patent licensing; the determination of patent essentiality and its effect on the valuation of the patent; licensing terms that are fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory (FRAND); how to obtain no-action letters from antitrust authorities such as the U.S. Department of Justice; and guidelines for the planning and implementation of an organized licensing arrangement for technology subject to international standards.
