Remaining at the forefront of innovation is the key challenge for businesses developing technology that feeds into new telecommunications standards. As new technology emerges thick-and-fast, so does the need to prepare patent applications covering complex standards-essential developments quickly and efficiently.

Constantly and rapidly evolving telecommunications standards pose ongoing challenges. Fast turnaround of new patent applications, in highly specialised technical areas, is required to enable cutting-edge brands to cover immediate and future developments. Often proposed developments are disclosed at standards working group meetings soon after development, meaning that the IP capture process must work in harmony.
