Patent Licensing
License the standard essential patents built into your products
Ofinno’s licensing program offers a clear path to license cellular, Wi-Fi, and media technologies
Ofinno’s researchers are active contributors to 3GPP, IEEE 802.11, and MPEG/JVET — the standards bodies whose specifications are implemented in smartphones, network infrastructure, connected vehicles, consumer electronics, medical devices, IoT products, and streaming platforms worldwide. Our patent portfolio is a direct result of that standards work: thousands of patent assets developed by the engineers contributing to the specifications. We license our standard essential patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms, with a well-supported process backed by detailed technical documentation and deep domain expertise across all three technology areas.
Industries
Our patents apply across every connected industry
Mobile Devices
Smartphones and tablets rely on cellular and Wi-Fi standards for connectivity. Ofinno’s SEPs address core technologies defined in these standards, spanning major platforms and chipsets.
Network Infrastructure
Ofinno’s cellular patent families address technologies used in base stations, small cells, and core network equipment deployed by operators around the world.
Automotive
Connected vehicles rely on cellular standards for telematics, navigation, over-the-air updates, and emergency services, and on Wi-Fi for in-vehicle connectivity. Ofinno’s patents address communication technologies used in these systems.
Consumer Electronics
From smart TVs and gaming consoles to wearables and smart home devices, consumer products increasingly implement wireless connectivity and media compression standards relevant to Ofinno’s portfolio.
Medical Devices
Connected health devices increasingly rely on cellular and Wi-Fi standards for remote monitoring, data transmission, and real-time alerts. Ofinno’s SEPs address wireless technologies central to this connectivity.
IoT Devices & Solutions
Industrial sensors, smart meters, logistics trackers, and other IoT products connect via cellular or Wi-Fi standards that Ofinno’s patent portfolio addresses.
Video & Streaming
As next-generation video coding and immersive media standards emerge, platforms delivering streaming, broadcasting, and spatial media experiences will implement technologies Ofinno is helping to develop.
Why SEP Licensing Matters
Standards drive interoperability. Licensing makes it sustainable.
Open standards allow products from different manufacturers to work together seamlessly — a smartphone on any network, a Wi-Fi device in any home, a video stream on any screen. That interoperability depends on companies contributing their best research to the standards process and sharing it openly.
Patent licensing is what makes this model sustainable. It allows companies like Ofinno to invest in original standards research, contribute that work to the standards bodies, and receive fair compensation when others implement the resulting technology. That compensation funds the next cycle of research — a virtuous circle that has driven the evolution of 5G and is now shaping 6G, next-generation Wi-Fi, and emerging media formats.
Ofinno’s patent portfolio is built entirely through original research by our own engineers — the same team actively contributing to the development of next-generation cellular, Wi-Fi, and media standards. We license these patents on FRAND terms, making them available to any company implementing the relevant standards.
Ofinno licenses its standard essential patents in accordance with fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) principles. This means any company implementing the covered standards can obtain a license under fair and consistent terms, regardless of industry or size.

Frequently-asked questions
Ofinno licenses standard essential patents (SEPs) — patents that cover technology required to implement industry standards. Our portfolio spans cellular (5G NR and emerging 6G), Wi-Fi (802.11be/Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 8, and emerging Wi-Fi 9 and mmWave Wi-Fi), and next-generation media technologies including advanced video coding and immersive media formats.
FRAND stands for fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory. It’s the licensing commitment that companies make when their patents are declared essential to a standard. Ofinno licenses its SEPs on FRAND terms, meaning any company implementing the relevant standards can obtain a license under fair and consistent conditions, regardless of industry or company size.
Any company that manufactures, sells, or imports products implementing standards covered by Ofinno’s patents may need a license. This includes manufacturers of smartphones, tablets, laptops, network equipment, connected vehicles, consumer electronics, medical devices, IoT products, wearables, and smart home devices, as well as companies providing video streaming or media services.
Ofinno’s research spans three pillars. In cellular, we cover 5G NR technologies with early 6G research underway. In Wi-Fi, our portfolio covers Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8 technologies, and we are actively contributing to the development of Wi-Fi 9 and mmWave Wi-Fi. In media, our team is focused on next-generation video coding standards and immersive media formats being developed through MPEG/JVET.
Licensing terms are determined using established industry methodologies. Ofinno provides data-driven valuations supported by detailed claim chart analysis and consistent with FRAND principles.
Yes. Licensing structures can be tailored to your needs. Ofinno offers both portfolio-wide and technology-specific licensing arrangements. The scope is determined collaboratively based on which standards and technologies are relevant to your products.
Ofinno’s preferred approach is to reach licensing agreements through good-faith negotiation. Our detailed technical documentation and transparent process support productive discussions. However, like any patent holder, Ofinno reserves the right to enforce its intellectual property rights when necessary.
