Matteo Sabattini (Sisvel), Jamie Lewis (UK IPO) and Justine Ferland (WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center) explore how SMEs working with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can engage with standards, navigate patent licensing, manage disputes, and develop effective IP strategies. In this session, speakers present initiatives and tools designed to support SMEs, including licensing support initiatives, advisory services, dispute management options, and funding schemes. These initiatives aim to make the IP and standards landscape more accessible and manageable for smaller innovators. The presentations is followed by a live Q&A, where participants had the opportunity to ask the speakers questions directly.
