Samsung extends leadership in 5G patents

Samsung Electronics has announced that it has ranked first in 5G Standard Essential Patent (SEP) shares according to a patent essentiality study conducted by IPlytics, a Berlin-based market intelligence firm comprised of economists, scientists and engineers. The findings were published in IPlytics’ recent report: Who is leading the 5G patent race? A patent landscape analysis on declared SEPs and standards contributions.

Samsung also ranked second in two other categories: share of 5G granted and active patent families, and share of 5G granted and active patent families with at least one of them granted by the EPO (European Patent Office) or USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office).

Last year, Samsung also led in 5G patents as a result of its research and development of 5G standards and technologies.

Samsung has pioneered the successful delivery of 5G end-to-end solutions including chipsets, radios and core. Through on-going research and development, Samsung drives the industry to advance 5G networks with its market-leading product portfolio from fully virtualised RAN and Core to private network solutions and AI-powered automation tools. The company is currently providing connectivity to hundreds of millions of users around the world.
