To have reliable and efficient communications, technologies need to be compliant with standards, making standard-essential patents (SEP) and the licensing term of them particularly important. This program will discuss SEPs relating to autonomous vehicles, the licensing of SEPs and the role of patent pools.

Panelists will examine various business and monetization models, as well as the distribution channels facilitated by these streaming services.
