Abstract:

WIPO’s Strategy on Standard Essential Patents was published in April 2024. At the first anniversary of the Strategy being in place, it is useful to take stock of what has been delivered as part of the implementation of that Strategy – and what value it brings to the stakeholder community.

The session presents the tools, collections, databases, studies, events and services that WIPO has put in place, in collaboration with its partner organizations and national authorities – and places them in the context of what other national, regional and global developments are afoot in the area of SEP policy.

The presentation concludes with the next steps and a call for further cooperation with LESI and its members.
