Session 1: SDO’s perspectives
Objectives: This session will examine the current patented policy
debates taking place within standards-setting bodies from different
geographical regions. These organizations and their stakeholders often
deliberate whether certain proposals to revise their operative patent
policy will – or will not - improve the standards-setting process and
make it more effective or efficient. The panelists will provide insight
into the issues recently or currently being debated at the
standards-setting organization they each represent and the conclusions
that were reached.
Session Moderator: Hung Ling, Alcatel-Lucent

Session 2: Industry perspectives (Part I)
Objectives: This session will discuss the concept of “F/RAND” (“fair,
reasonable and non-discriminatory”), how it works in practice, and
whether it is effective or needs further definition. Panelists will also
discuss issues related to aggregated royalties (when there are a
significant number of necessary patents and/or patent holders) as well
as the mechanisms that have been put in place, or should be put in
place, to solve this issue. Finally, the impact of non-practicing
entities on the standard system will be examined.
