This guidance was developed in 2018 to increase transparency and predictability in licensing negotiations for standard-essential patents, which are patents necessary for the implementation of standards in the field of wireless communications and other areas, to facilitate negotiations between patent holders and implementers, and to prevent disputes and resolve them quickly.
