      abstract = {What is the licensing framework of standard essential  patents (SEPs) for connectivity standards such as 5G and  Wi-Fi? How will the framework change with the Internet of  Things (IoT)? This book provides comprehensive answers to  these questions. For over two decades, connectivity  standards have been the subject of litigation and  controversy around the globe. Now, with the introduction of  5G and the emergence of the world of connected objects, or  the IoT, the licensing framework for SEPs is becoming even  more contentious. In order to bring clarity to the debate,  this book analyses and explains key components of a fair,  reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) licence for SEPs;  clarifies the economic, policy and market background of SEP  disputes; examines the interrelated application of  contract, patent and competition laws; and describes the  approaches by courts and regulators in the EU, US and the  UK. Importantly, the book also assesses how the experience  from the smartphone and ICT industries can be applied in a  new environment of the IoT, and considers what needs to be  changed in the future SEP licensing landscape.The book  provides a holistic coverage of SEP licensing issues in an  attempt to reduce uncertainty within this highly complex  and technical area, and will be useful to practitioners,  policy makers, SMEs and large technology companies in the  IoT, as well as academics interested in the field.},
