We advise on SEP-heavy video codec standards including AVC (H.264), HEVC (H.265), VP9, AV1, and VVC. These technologies power today’s streaming and video platforms—but they also involve complex, high-stakes licensing dynamics.
Whether you’re an implementer facing multi-pool fragmentation or a licensor seeking monetization, Merion Point helps assess exposure, develop strategy, and close deals. We combine technical fluency with legal and commercial execution across the codec IP stack.
4G (LTE) and 5G are not just telecom milestones—they’re vast ecosystems of standardized technologies, layered protocols, and patented innovations. These standards are developed by 3GPP and implemented globally across handsets, infrastructure, IoT devices, and more.
They’re also among the most SEP-heavy standards in the world.
Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) are critical standards enabling high-speed wireless connectivity across consumer electronics, enterprise networks, and industrial applications. Built on years of collaborative development within IEEE 802.11, these technologies improve bandwidth, reduce latency, and optimize spectrum efficiency.
But like cellular standards, Wi-Fi standards are covered by hundreds of declared SEPs, many of which form the basis for licensing campaigns, litigation, and policy disputes.
Semiconductors are the foundation of the modern digital economy. From mobile devices and data centers to autonomous vehicles and AI workloads, chips and their components power nearly every advanced technology in use today. But behind each component—whether storage, processing, or fabrication—lies a dense landscape of innovation and intellectual property.
At Merion Point, we operate at the intersection of technology and intellectual property—advising clients across some of the most commercially and legally complex standards and systems in the world. From video codecs and wireless communication to semiconductors, these technologies sit at the core of modern innovation—and they’re often governed by dense webs of patents, including Standard-Essential Patents (SEPs). Whether you're a patent holder seeking to monetize your portfolio or an implementer navigating licensing obligations, our team brings a rare combination of technical fluency, legal experience, and commercial strategy to every engagement.
