OPEN indexes for search the contributions and decisions at JCT-VC, and 3GPP

Searchable by specification area, meeting, document type, contributor

Innovation is often publicly disclosed in standards submissions before a patent is applied for. Searching for such prior art brings a huge advantage to invalidity challenges. Unfortunately, though, searching through SDO submission records is very cumbersome. Behind SDOs’ cumbersome user interface lies rich information also on standardization participation, collaboration partners, and submission success rates.

OPEN’s Searchable Standard Submission Repositories help:

  • Identify prior art 

    • Free text search through all technical submissions made to 3GPP for 2G, 3G, LTE, 5G and JCT-VC for the AVC and HEVC codecs.

    • Over 1,000,000 3GPP Submissions and over 70,000 JCT-VC Submissions

    • Coming late summer 2021: technical submissions made for IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi. 

  • Challenge portfolio quality claims based on standards participation work. 

    • Get a detailed view on who is participating and with whom and the success of that participation.
