The EU SEP Regulation: Exploring its implications [Advocacy Lab Content]

In April 2023, the European Commission proposed a new framework for Standard Essential Patents (SEP).

The SEP Regulation Conference delved into the EU’s SEP Regulation, which has sparked debate since its release.

This report examines the new SEP framework and its implications across different areas.
