UCL's Faculty of Laws announced its 8th annual "Patents and Standards 2026" conference scheduled for May 14-15, 2026, in London, focusing on global market developments in intellectual property. The event features key speakers from Ericsson, Qualcomm, and Nokia, and includes panels on topics such as FRAND disputes, licensing streaming standards, patent portfolio valuation, and the role of courts and platforms.
This is a concentrated view into where SEP and standards-policy debates are heading in 2026, and streaming is now explicitly part of that discussion. The presence of Tencent, Avanci, Warner Bros. Discovery, Amazon, Nokia, Ericsson, and Qualcomm on a “Licensing Streaming Standards” panel shows that streaming standards are being treated as a licensing issue, not just a technical one. The broader program also ties streaming to FRAND disputes, courts, and patent pools, which are the same structures shaping licensing in telecom and connected devices. Watch for the May 14 panel roster and any published materials that clarify which streaming standards are in scope.
