Sisvel, the operator of the leading cellular IoT patent pool, has launched a new informational campaign to help IoT device makers navigate the legal complexities of implementing NB-IoT and LTE-M standards. This campaign highlights simple and efficient industry solutions designed to support the ongoing growth of these technologies.
Available at iotpatentpool.com, the campaign introduces IoT product makers to the essentials of technology licensing, covering key concepts such as patents, standards, licenses, and patent pools. It also addresses the potential risks for companies that overlook these critical areas, as well as the significant cost and time involved in negotiating licenses individually with multiple patent owners.
The cellular IoT market is highly diverse, with numerous small and medium-sized companies developing new solutions for smart cities, smart grids, smart agriculture, and smart supply chains. Many of these emerging players lack the extensive legal departments and commercial IP expertise of more established telecom companies.
The Sisvel Cellular IoT patent pool offers end-product makers access to NB-IoT and LTE-M standard essential patents from over 30 major innovators through a quick, simple, and cost-effective transaction. This allows them to focus their resources on developing and marketing valuable connected products.
Sisvel’s recent license agreement with leading IoT module manufacturer Nordic Semiconductor demonstrates the strong market validation of the program’s value proposition. Through this informational campaign, Sisvel aims to convey an important message to IoT stakeholders: patents drive cellular innovation and are essential, but they should not be seen as obstacles to IoT adoption.
