With the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in a variety of applications, there is a greater demand for SEPs in the field of AI-based apps. However, licencing SEPs can be a complicated process, and there is no agreement on best practises for SEP licencing in AI-based apps. The adoption of a multifactor approach for determining FRAND royalty rates, the use of ex ante licencing to prevent patent hold-up, and the establishment of specialized dispute resolution mechanisms for SEP disputes are some of the proposed best practices for SEP licencing in AI-based apps. As potential solutions to the challenges associated with determining FRAND royalty rates in AI-based apps, this study proposed alternative royalty schemes, such as the use of a per-unit royalty rate or a revenue-sharing scheme.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1111/jwip.12278}, recid = {49054}, pages = {1 online resource (pages 490-502)}, }
