# Standard essential patents

European Parliament procedure 2023/0133(COD) (COD - Ordinary legislative procedure (ex-codecision procedure), 9th term, committee IMCO / JURI). Stage: Awaiting Council's 1st reading position. 1,082 committee amendments tabled by 26 Members between 2023-10-27 and 2023-10-31.

## What the amendments focus on

This dossier concerns a proposed regulation on standard essential patents (SEPs), which protect technology incorporated in a standard and are licensed on FRAND terms. The amendments revise the FRAND determination procedure run by a competence centre, including notification and response time limits, the consequences when a party declines to participate, the centre's electronic register and database, and the treatment of royalty-free and open-source standards.
