The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) maintains the largest declaration database, encompassing over 555,000 patents and nearly 103,000 patent families as of October 2024. Companies often self-declare patents early to mitigate risks associated with late declarations, leading to a database that may include unpublished patents. This can skew analyses of patent ownership, favoring those who declare extensively. LexisNexis has launched the "Cellular Verified" initiative, collaborating with over 30 leading 5G patent holders to enhance data accuracy, achieving 99.9% precision. This initiative aims to standardize patent declarations, address inconsistencies, and provide clarity in the market, particularly in light of proposed EU regulations on standard-essential patents.

Nick was on a mission: Extract 200 high-value patents from a pool of 1000, with only two months on the clock. The traditional approach was painstaking and slow. But then we tried something strategic and unconventional - Patent marking. Patent markings - the public declaration of patent rights on products or websites. It became the key in identifying patents with high infringement potential. IP teams that harness strategic intelligence like this can secure significant competitive advantage, make informed decisions that align with their long-term business goals, and grow faster. Find out how Nick finalized 200 patents in a short time using strategic intelligence: https://lnkd.in/gAESA9bF #PatentStrategy #PatentAcquisition #BusinessIntelligence #GreyB #Innovation

Attention to all innovators and patent holders: Be vigilant of fraudulent letters claiming to be from official patent offices and requesting payment of fees. These deceptive communications often appear official and may ask for significant sums to "register" your patent applications. It's crucial to remember that legitimate patent offices have set fee structures and typically do not send out such "invoice"-like letters. Always verify the authenticity of any payment request directly with the relevant patent office. If you encounter such a letter, report it immediately to the appropriate authorities, such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or your national government. By staying informed and cautious, we can protect our intellectual property and the integrity of the patent system. For more information on identifying these fraudulent requests and safeguarding your patents, visit the WIPO's warning page [1].

What does a patent Information Disclosure Statement entail? An IDS is a critical document submitted to the USPTO, highlighting relevant prior art and related data, impacting the patentability of your idea. Framing a perfect IDS requires meticulous research and thorough documentation to avoid issues related to non-disclosure. Failure to do so can result in the rejection of your patent application or the invalidation of an already granted patent. Read Mamata Saha’s blog to learn more about the significance of IDS and what goes into the effective preparation of one.
