Roberto Dini, founder of Metroconsult, is among the co-authors of the article Building a “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: Navigating Policy and Jurisdictional Shifts in the Global SEP Licensing Ecosystem, published in the June 2026 issue of Les Nouvelles, the quarterly journal of the Licensing Executives Society International (LESI).
The article brings together the key insights and discussions from the LES International Annual Conference 2026 in Dublin, addressing one of the most significant topics in today’s intellectual property landscape: the evolution of the licensing framework for Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), amid regulatory developments, jurisdictional challenges, and emerging opportunities for innovation.
The article highlights that greater policy harmonization, the increased use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms, and a balanced approach that takes into account the interests of both innovators and implementers of standardized technologies are essential to ensuring an efficient, sustainable, and future-ready SEP licensing ecosystem.
