A MOU signed by Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property, USPTO Director Kathi Vidal and the Chief Executive Officer of the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) Adam Williams provides a framework for collaboration between the two offices on policies relating to standard essential patents (SEPs).
Under the terms of the agreement, the USPTO and the UKIPO will:
Cooperate on activities to facilitate collaboration and exchange of information on policy matters concerning SEPs, to better ensure a balanced standards ecosystem.
Explore means to educate small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to implement or contribute to the development of technical interoperability standards on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms.
Examine ways of improving transparency in the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory licensing of technical interoperability standards.
Engage in outreach to stakeholders to raise awareness of issues related to SEPs.
Discuss means to incorporate additional jurisdictions into the USPTO’s and the UKIPO’s activities concerning SEPs, including exploring a venue for such broader discussions.
The agreement will remain in effect for five years from the date of signing
