Standard Essential Patent (SEP) Search Module

Declaration insight & essentiality confirmation for cellular (2G → 5G) and Wi-Fi (3-6) – your new one-stop hub for standards data.

Why this matters

Whether you negotiate licences, defend litigation, or track competitors, you need to know which patents have been declared essential and which have been independently assessed as such. The new SEP Search Module brings both views together for cellular and Wi-Fi standards—directly inside Orbit Intelligence—so you can move from questions to answers in minutes. (Support for additional technologies—think Bluetooth®, NFC, video-codec standards, and more—is already on our roadmap.)

Pinpoint the patents that matter

Advanced Search now comes with SEP-exclusive fields for Status, Technology, Standard No., Declaration Date and Claim Type, so you can lock onto 2G-5G and Wi-Fi 3-6 families in a flash.

Get the full picture at a glance

A single Results view combines the Hit-List and Standards tab: custom columns reveal Declaration Status, Earliest Declaration Date, Technology, and Essentiality, while the integrated panel bundles every declaration entry and independent essentiality conclusion into one clean narrative.

Ideal for spotting licensing gold and backing it up with context—without opening multiple records.

Turn data into deals

Ready-made analysis dashboards convert raw SEP numbers into polished charts on legal status, ownership, geo-coverage, assessment rate and more—perfect for boardrooms and strategy sessions.
