Patents and Standards 2026: When SEP portfolios outgrow human review

The 8th UCL Patents and Standards conference brought together all the key standard essential patent (SEP) players on both the holder and implementer sides. 

By the end of day two, one technical question kept resurfacing across panels that were nominally discussing other topics. How does anyone actually assess essentiality and validity at the scale modern declared portfolios now reach? At Solve Intelligence, this is the question we have built our platform to answer.

Key takeaways

  • At today's portfolio scales, AI is a precondition for SEP essentiality and validity assessment, not an enhancement of human review.
  • Streaming standards are fully in SEP territory, bringing implementers with no licensing history into the same mapping problems as in cellular standards.
  • SEP disputes default to parallel multi-jurisdiction proceedings, requiring position alignment across every forum before the first filing.
