Updated Publication Announcement for “Disclosures and Enforceability of Standard-Essential Patents: An Overview”
We are thrilled to announce that an updated version of the article "Disclosures and Enforceability of Standard-Essential Patents: An Overview" by Attorney David L. Cohen has been published by Wolters Kluwer in Chapter 10 of their 2026 Licensing Update.
This article delves into the importance of standard-essential patents (SEP), disclosure obligations, licensing commitments, and patent enforcement. Innovative standards form the backbone of the modern knowledge economy, as industries increasingly rely on shared technical standards for communication systems, consumer electronics, and software technologies.
The article addresses key aspects of SEP standard development, including SDOs, FRAND terms and conditions, IPRs, information and communications technologies, anti-trust liability, and implied waivers in both the United States and the European Union, including the recent important cases on SEPs: Philips v. Asus, Optis v. Apple, and Sisvel v. Haier.
