An Introduction into SEP’s, Standards and Standards Contribution Data Search and Analysis TimPohlmann (IPlytics GmbH) 9:00 – 9:30 am

ABSTRACT The fourth industrial revolution will see the conver gence of technology as connectivity technologies are gradually integrated across all industry verticals. This revolution will not only disrupt business models around connected devices but also make IP pro fessionals reconsider how to deal with intellectual property as they are faced with the ever-growing challenge of ensuring that they have the necessary assets to hold their own during the transformation of industries such as automotive, manufacturing, energy, home appliance or healthcare. Connectivity standards such as 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi (802.11), Bluetooth, versatile video coding (VVC), near field communica tion (NFC) and radio frequency identification (RFID), among others, are subject to so called standard essential patents (SEPs). Such patents must be used when implementing the standard. IP professionals across all industry verticals must rethink how they develop, evaluate, and analyze their own portfolios and the competition with regards connectivity stan dards. This means aligning patent portfolios to pro tect innovations and proactively engaging in con tinuous strategic portfolio development to align the patent portfolio with the objectives of the business as it relates to patent licensing, acquisitions, joining patent pools, participating at standards meetings, and understanding the competition. In this session Tim Pohlmann, CEO and founder of IPlytics will dis cuss end explain  How to deal with the increasing demand for better data around SEPs, standards and standards contributions to understand competition in an ever more fully connected world? How to have all information to ensure freedom to operate, iden tify prior art for new R&D projects or identify white spaces.  How to navigate patent portfolios where products increasingly rely on connectivity stan dards?  How to manage aspects of patent licensing when integrating new technological advances such as 5G or Wi-Fi which are protected by SEPs?

BIOGRAPHY Tim Pohlmann is the CEO and founder of IPlytics. He earned his doctoral degree with the highest distinction from the Berlin Institute of Technology, with a dissertation on patent ing and coordination in standardisation. He then went on to work as a post-doctoral researcher and consultant for the Law and Economics of Patents Group at CERNA, MINES ParisTech. In his work as an economist and consultant, Dr Pohlmann was confronted with the challenge that standards databases such as those of the European Telecommunications Stan dards Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers have no real, meaningful connection with compre hensive global patent databases. He realised that if we are to keep pace with the next technology revolution, then as IP professionals, we need to rethink – even revolutionise – how we approach both patent and standards data, to provide business-ready knowledge for actionable decision making across our organisations. Dr Pohlmann founded IPlytics with the vision of creating the first solution on the market to bring together comprehensive, highly indexed technical standards information, global patents, declared SEPs, patent pool and technical standards contribution data, to provide indus try-leading analysis on the past, present and future of stan dards-essential technology. Unlike other tools that are overly complex, IPlytics provides fast, intuitive access to patents and standards to empower the user to strategically align patent portfolios to protect innovations and proactively engage in continuous strategic portfolio development as it relates to SEP assets, for initiatives such as licensing, acquisitions and joining patent pools, or simply to understand the respective positions of the competition. Dr Pohlmann has been active ly involved in preparing empirical studies for the European Commission, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the German federal government on declared patents, standards contributions, patent transfers and patent pool ing behaviour. Dr Pohlmann is a recognized thought leader, panel speaker and adjunct lecturer on the topics of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), FRAND licensing, patent pools and advanced patent intelligence. He is also the author of several peer-reviewed economist journal articles, several Managing IP articles, IPWatchdog articles, IAMMagazine articles, and some of the ever most-read IAMMedia industry reports.

Using AI to determine Standard Essential Patent (SEP) Pool Essentiality Shawn Ambwani (Unified Patents) 9:30 – 10:00 am

ABSTRACT The dramatic number of patent filings in SEPs have made traditional landscapes very difficult to ascer tain and maintain. Unified, as part of the develop ment of a joint patent pool called Alium for the 5G RAN space. An area with over 100,000 self-declared essential patents and very little actual analysis. A traditional landscape is very difficult in such an envi ronment. Unified developed a new way to measure essentiality based on training sets of eyes on analysis that provides the best of both worlds. An accurate landscape and even the ability to measure individual patents based on essentiality.

BIOGRAPHY Co-Founder of Unified Patents, the Anti-Troll and founder of 2 previous video codec companies with successful exits. He is responsible for running Uni fied’s operations, counsel & docket management, analytics, and marketing. He has co-authored papers on PTAB analytics and procedures which have been published in law reviews affiliated with the U. of Chicago, U. of Colorado, and Northwestern among others.

Valuation of the Injunction in Unwired Planet vs Huawei Roya Ghafele (OxFirst Ltd.) 10:00 – 10:30 am

ABSTRACT On August 26 2020 the UK Supreme issued a land mark decision in the matter of Unwired Planet vs Huawei. The decision revolutionised the debate on standard essential patents as the Court held that a Global FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-discrimina tory) rate can be sanctioned with an injunction in the U.K. To assess whether the issuance of an injunc tion in that case was proportional to the value of the infringed standard essential patents, the article builds upon the valuation approaches contained in the judgment itself. It does so, by comparing the value of the injunction to the implied value of the patents that caused the British injunction. Compar ing a slightly adjusted valuation approach accepted by the Court to the direct value of the injunction, shows that the direct value of the injunction out weighs the estimated value of the infringed patents. Whether this is commensurate with the proportion ality factors set out under English law should be further examined.

BIOGRAPHY Dr. Roya Ghafele is the founder and Managing Direc tor of Oxfirst, ( www.oxfirst.com) an award-winning law and economics consultancy that specialises in helping organisations value their Intellectual Prop erty in disputes, for licensing and sales purposes and the commercialisation of ideas and innovation, on preparation for Stock Market floatation as well as general management considerations. She is a visiting Professor at Brunel University, London and is fluent in five languages, English, German, French, Italian and Persian as well as being an accredited expert witness to courts in England and Wales.

Why IFI?

It's all about the ping!

All our client databases across the globe are continually and constantly "pinging" our primary database. When we update our database - automatically and simultaneously all our client databases receive the update or correction, replacing the “old document.” This process is essential and what differentiates IFI among patent data suppliers. Our update process is fully automated, ensuring reliable data synchronization. Other data sources are not fully automated and leave the customer to stitch together file-based updates, which increases the risk of synchronization errors.

IFI CLAIMS Ultimate Owner: A View of Patent Possession Claire Hammond (IFI CLAIMS Patent Services) 11:45 am – 12:15 pm

ABSTRACT We all know how difficult it is to track patent owner ship. In the beginning, of course, there is an assign ee, and the assignee owns the invention. But over time, in the course of doing business, IP assets and entire companies are sold to new owners; iterations of company names proliferate. The natural progres sion of business makes the simple question—Who owns What? —more complicated than it should be. Especially when it comes to hierarchical, multibil lion dollar entities. As intangible assets occupy an ever-growing portion of corporate balance sheets, understanding who owns the invention has never been more crucial to investors with an eye toward M&A. With IFI’s Ultimate Owner, our newest addi tion to our suite of patent offerings, we provide the conclusive answer to which entity owns what patent asset. The bedrock of Ultimate Owner is IFI CLAIMS’ deep involvement over seven decades in the propri etary and painstaking work of name standardization. Ultimate Owner interprets each name iteration, identifies where it belongs under public and pri vate-company corporate umbrellas, and then shows you who possesses the rights, giving you a clearer view of your target companies. Join us to learn more about how Ultimate Owner can support your M&A decisions, risk analyses, and competitive intelligence.

BIOGRAPHY Claire Hammond, Content Specialist at IFI CLAIMS Patent Services, applies her patent expertise and her application background to help review, analyze and map IFI’s data to ensure the highest quality standards. In her past roles she helped support and train user communities on a suite of IP tools. She was also a member on the IP tool team who helped to enhance different tools by automating processes, re ducing legal risk and identifying high value patents in their patent applications.

ABSTRACT Patent information is paramount for defining strate gies and making decisions in any dynamic company. Whether it be at the level of decision-makers, re searchers, legal or business development, a specialist in patent information is key to success. Despite its strengths, this complex and protean profession may face difficulties of gaining recognition in our orga nizations. The French-speaking Patent Information User Group (CFIB) focused on this issue, set up work ing groups to explore, discuss and draw up concrete ideas and proposals. How to raise the profile? How to enhance the visibility and understand better this profession? Some proposals that have already been implemented will be presented: a series of videos showing the multiple facets of the job, participation to PIP certification.

BIOGRAPHY Cécile Boyer-Joubert, PhD started her career in R&D as a medicinal chemist researcher. She then moved to the Information Science field, worked several years for Pfizer as a Patent Information Specialist, for the well-known IP firm Lavoix and then for Exeltis France as Scientific Competitive and IP Team Leader. She joined Biogaran in 2019 as a Patent Engineer cur rently in charge of all IP aspects before generic drugs launch. She has 20 years of professional experience in patent information in the pharmaceutical industry. Cécile is Board member of CFIB (French Speaking Patent Information User Group) since its creation as an association, former treasurer and currently involved in a Task force for the Promotion of our Profession.

New Patent Search Tools and the Evolving Role of the Patent Information Professional Frederic Baudour (French Information User Grp.) 2:15 – 2:45 pm

ABSTRACT The last 20 years saw a lot of developments from the patent database Industry, introducing or rebranding some “concepts” or search technologies. As a few examples we can cite IP landscaping and the search for the so called “white space”; the mixing of differ ent kinds of data: patents, financial, marketing, … to provide new kinds of analysis; and most recently search tools based on Artificial Intelligence. Some of these could sometimes lead us to the assumption that it is quite easy to learn, in a few seconds, “ev erything there is to know” on a specific topic, by just typing a few keywords in a Google like interface. Is it true? Is it false? What are the limits of these news tools? Of these new search methodologies? Of these analysis? Can we blindly trust search results? How can we redefine our job in this new World?

BIOGRAPHY Frederic Baudour earned his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from University of Mons Hainaut (Bel gium) and a degree in Applied Economics – Manage ment from Facultés Universitaires CAtholiques de Mons – FUCAM (Belgium). He began working as an Information Scientist for UCB Chemicals in 1996 and became Information Manager when UCB created the Surface Specialties division from the acquisition of the Coatings, Adhesives & Additives business of Solu tia. He later moved into the role of Senior Informa tion Analyst following the purchase of Surface Spe cialties by Cytec Industries and then the divestiture of the Coatings business to Allnex. Frederic currently works in ALLNEX’s Knowledge Management Office, is President of CFIB (French Patent Information As sociation) , Qualified Paten Information Professional (QPIP), former vice-president at CEPIUG (Confederacy of the EU-user groups), and former ALLNEX represen tative at the PDG (Patent Documentation Group).

WORKSHOP: Critical Patent Metrics in a Snap(shot) Janice Stevenson (IFI CLAIMS Patent Services) 2:45 – 3:45 pm

ABSTRACT “S&P 500 companies’ intangible assets have gone from 17% of total assets in 1975 to 90% last year,” (2020). * As these assets become more and more mainstream, wading into the thicket of patent data seeking reasonable estimates of value is daunting. Using IFI Snapshots in combination with our ever evolving Ultimate Owner collection can simplify the quest for wise M&A decisions, risk analyses, and competitive intelligence. * Alan Murray and David Meyer, “We are All Tech Companies Now,” Fortune, 2021 In this workshop we will review the crucial indicators contained within the IFI Snapshot; in cluding patent status, anticipated expiration, claims summaries, and assignee/applicant name standard ization - a proprietary IFI process leveraging over seven decades of painstaking work normalizing myriad name variations under a precise, searchable designation; the IFI Standardized Name. We will then examine the interaction between IFI Names and the IFI Ultimate Owners to shed light on elements such as the geographic distribution of IP rights, the ebb and flow of technologies, and the overall health of patent portfolios within global organizations. Along the way, we will also illustrate how patent data can be used to quickly identify “red flags” that may arise during a M&A. This includes events such as EP validation decisions, PCT filing decisions, annuity, and maintenance payments – who decides and who pays.

BIOGRAPHY Janice Stevenson applies her vast client support ex perience to providing IFI clients the foundation they need to bring their applications to full fruition. She draws on past experiences as a trainer, sales manag er, and developer focused on intellectual property and patent applications.
