Last year was marked by a series of developments in the realm of the fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory (FRAND) patent licensing system that forms the backbone of technical standardization. Legal professionals Tom Millikan and Kevin Zeck at Perkins Coie have underscored the eight notable shifts in the FRAND environment during 2023.
As we begin a new year, it is important to reflect on these developments and consider potential progressions for 2024. The changes observed last year highlighted the dynamic nature of this key patent licensing system, which continues to adapt and evolve against the backdrop of a constantly shifting legal and technological landscape.
