Global Standards Leadership Conference 2025
The Global Standards Leadership Conference 2025 is an annual event that brings together thought leaders from the realms of intellectual property, standardization, government, and academia. Organized by LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions, the conference aims to bridge the gap between policy, legal, academic, and industry experts, fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration.
Key topics for discussion include the value contributions of 5G to products and services, the pricing of 5G Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) in technology markets, valuation of standardized technologies in FRAND determinations, and the latest FRAND case law. Additionally, the conference will address how FRAND determination can follow more objective guidelines.
The event will feature a dynamic lineup of keynote addresses, panel discussions, and open debates, providing a platform for meaningful dialogue and collaboration among industry experts. Notable sessions include discussions on SEP disputes amid global tech competition and the global ecosystem of standardized technology and the road to 6G.
The conference is ideal for professionals involved in intellectual property, standardization, government, and academia who are seeking to stay abreast of the latest developments in SEPs and standards. Attendees will gain unique insights into how AI and next-generation standards in cellular, wireless, video, audio, and memory technologies are shaping the next wave of innovation.
