Empower SEP Explorer

In a market driven by connectivity, understanding the landscape of declared and potentially relevant Standard Essential Patents is critical for licensees, licensors, law firms, and patent brokers. But declarations alone are not enough. Empower SEP Explorer is the only platform that enriches declaration, contribution, and pool data with more fulsome context of litigation and NPE activity, chain-of-title, current ownership, and proprietary scores and metrics. No other tool consolidates this depth of intelligence, replacing the fragmented mix of SEP, prosecution, and litigation defense tools your team currently relies on with one trusted, enterprise-grade solution.

Curated Standard-Specific Collections

Not all patent holders declare with equal discipline, and not all SSOs have the same declaration policies or guidelines for patent holders. This allows for the potential of under- or over-declaration activity which creates noise that can distort the analysis and time-consuming work. Our curated collections of patents declared or relevant to specific standards address this directly, cutting through SSO declaration differences to surface the patents that genuinely matter for your product roadmap and risk exposure.

Access curated collections of declared and potentially relevant patents for Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7, 5G, and Qi Wireless, designed to cut through the SSOs differing declaration guidelines.

Benchmark portfolios, identify the most active assignees, and anticipate licensing risks within specific ecosystems.

AI-Based Essentiality Analysis (Beta)

Essentiality analysis is time-consuming, expensive, and critical to both portfolio valuation and litigation defense. Most tools offer an essentiality score—a number you either trust or do not—with nothing to substantiate it. Empower goes further, delivering an indication of likely essentiality, and claim-mapping against specific standard sections using state-of-the-art LLMs. This systematic approach provides the confidence you need to prioritize high-value assets during due diligence and refine your defensive or offensive strategies with precision.

Move beyond opaque essentiality scores with AI-driven claim mapping directly against specific sections of Technical Standard Documents.

Run essentiality analysis against any portfolio in our worldwide database.

Contribution Intelligence

Standards do not emerge fully formed. They are built through technical contributions, and tracking those contributions reveals who is truly influencing the technology. This unique dataset maps the technical origins of key standards, providing a level of strategic context that declarations alone cannot offer. Understanding who contributed what, and when, is foundational intelligence for any serious licensing or defense strategy.

Search and analyze technical contributions from 3GPP and IEEE to understand the true origins and development of standardized technology.

Connect contribution activity to declared and relevant patents to identify the most technically influential portfolios and anticipate where licensing pressure is likely to emerge.

Patent Pool Intelligence

Patent pools are a critical—and often complex—layer of the licensing landscape. Empower SEP Explorer streamlines the process of identifying pool participation across major programs, helping your team quickly flag potential opportunities for further research rather than leaving them buried in manual review workflows.

Search and analyze patent pool participation across major programs including video formats (VVC, VVC, AVC, AV1, etc.) and audio formats (AAC, MPEG, EVS, etc.), Wi-Fi, and Cellular IoT.

Quickly identify which declared or relevant patents are associated with pool licenses, flagging potential obligations for further legal and commercial research.
