A new report [1] from Clarivate patent experts provides an update on 5G standards-essential patent declarations.
In our Demystifying the 5G standard essential patent landscape: Phase 4 report published in June 2023, we presented the statistics of patents declared as essential to 5G standards as of December 31, 2022.
In this new report, we present statistics that capture new declarations, new 5G standards, new patent applications and new grants within the patent families. For this report, we considered declarations as of December 31, 2023.
Key observations include:
- Total 5G declared families increased by 24% in last year, with a total count of more than 73,700 patent families as of December 31, 2023.
- Two-thirds of 5G declared patent families have at least one granted patent.
- The top 14 companies own around 85% of the total declared patent families with at least one granted patent.
