From Standards Contribution to Patent Portfolio
Standard-essential patents (SEPs) are among the most valuable intellectual property assets in the mobile industry. The organisations that hold strong SEP portfolios command significant licensing revenues and wield substantial influence in the ecosystem.
New Horizons Technologies provides an integrated service that connects standards participation directly to IP creation — ensuring that your technical contributions are captured as patents before the window closes. When disputes arise, we provide the technical expertise that makes the difference in litigation.
