SEP Litigation, Comparable License & Market Benchmark Analysis
Understanding the legal, market, and economic evidence behind SEP royalty rates is critical to assessing where a portfolio sits within the broader licensing landscape.
FIN IP Group analyzes global SEP/FRAND litigation outcomes, comparable licenses, patent pool rates, published studies, public disclosures, and other market evidence to identify relevant royalty benchmarks and licensing precedents.
The result is an objective view of what the market supports, providing the benchmark evidence needed for licensing strategy, negotiations, dispute analysis, and subsequent FRAND rate development.

Portfolio-specific SEP Pricing
FIN IP Group uses relevant market benchmarks and licensing evidence to develop a FRAND royalty rate or range specific to the client’s portfolio.
Using a top-down valuation approach, we translate litigation outcomes, comparable licenses, patent pool rates, royalty stack studies, and other benchmarks into portfolio-specific pricing by considering factors such as patent strength, portfolio size, standard relevance, geographic coverage, and relative contribution to the standard.
The result is a well-supported and defensible portfolio-specific FRAND rate for licensing negotiations, pricing strategy, dispute resolution, and broader SEP decision-making.

SEP Presentation & Design
FIN IP Group develops clear, compelling presentations that transform complex SEP analysis and portfolio-specific FRAND pricing into persuasive, decision-ready materials.
