🗞️ICYMI: In a new @mlexclusive piece, Save Our Standards warned that injunctions can distort licensing negotiations, inject uncertainty into global markets and drive up costs for American manufacturers and families. 🔗mlex.com/mlex/intellect…

Patent owners and innovators are urging the White House to reconsider the USPTO’s proposed IPR rule, warning it could insulate invalid patents and raise costs for American businesses.

We're looking forward to seeing SOS member Morgan Reed, President of @ACTonline, at next week's State of the Net Conference discussing sovereign AI and the future of global internet governance. The future of innovation depends on strong standards and balanced policies. #SOTN26

As more industries rely on collaborative industry standards, markets like streaming are feeling the impact—underscoring the need for fair and balanced licensing. ICYMI: law360.com/articles/24275…

Market-driven licensing fails when injunctions become leverage. Congress should urge foreign governments to limit the availability of SEP injunctions involving FRAND commitments, protecting American businesses and consumers from unfair and coercive demands. 🔗saveourstandards.com/wp-content/upl…

As the House Ways & Means Trade Subcommittee examines “Maintaining American Innovation and Technology Leadership” today, it’s worth remembering: U.S. leadership in 5G & 6G depends on enforcing FRAND commitments—not ignoring SEP abuse. Weak FRAND enforcement is a threat to U.S. competitiveness.

As the USPTO launches its SEP Working Group, SOS looks forward to engaging to ensure its work reflects the unique nature of SEPs and strengthens FRAND’s role in promoting fair competition and U.S. tech leadership. Read our statement here: saveourstandards.com/wp-content/upl…

We are excited to share that ACT | The App Association & @ETSI_STANDARDS are forming a new collaborative partnership to provide for greater SME involvement in European standards development. etsi.org/newsroom/news/…

As the United States continues to promote AI adoption, we urged the OSTP to back an industry-led approach to AI standardization and stop foreign governments from using SEP injunctions to stall innovation. Read our comments here: saveourstandards.com/wp-content/upl…
