Sisvel an Increasingly Important Patent Owner in the Field of Telecommunications
LUXEMBOURG–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/IP?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#IPlt;/agt;–Leveraging on years of investments in R&D activities, carried out in
Sisvel Technology, so as to develop new technologies and corresponding
IP positions as well as working with third parties wishing to divest
valuable patent portfolios, Sisvel Group is today the owner of more than
320 patent families, most of which in the field of consumer electronics
and telecommunications.
Sisvel is becoming an increasingly relevant patent owner, with more than
1,100 patents worldwide in the mobile communication field alone. This
creates synergies with Sisvel’s activities as licensing administrator in
the same field, where Sisvel currently manages its multi-generational
licensing program for 3G and 4G standard essential patents – the Mobile
Communication Program – to which all its relevant assets are contributed.
After having completed the acquisition of new portfolios in the
beginning of Q2 2019, Sisvel currently disposes on more than 70 patent
families essential to 3G and/or LTE. These families include, among
others, patents originally filed by Blackberry and LG Electronics, with
about 200 patents.
“We look with renewed confidence to our licensing activities in Mobile
Communications: with a portfolio of assets built after careful selection
and with hundreds of patents with a residual life spanning into the
2030s, we are convinced that the market will continue recognizing the
value of our joint licensing programs and of the assets we own” Mattia
Fogliacco, CEO of the Sisvel Group, said. “Our investments help in
consolidating various portfolios into a streamlined offering, available
through our programs”.
Continued investments further expanding the footprint of our
collaborative activities, with a renewed focus on collaborations with
R&D centres, will ensure the further growth of Sisvel’s portfolios and
programs.
For this reason, Sisvel is today one of the most relevant players in the
field of licensing mobile communications assets.
