Imagine downloading four "Star Wars" movies in the
time you finish reading this sentence, donning your $6.99 virtual
reality headset, and then walking next to Darth Vader (or Luke
Skywalker). 5G, with its gigabit download speeds and millisecond
latencies, is bringing that world.
Along with artificial intelligence, virtual reality, internet of
things and big data, 5G has sparked a super-connected revolution.
Companies across industries strive to make smart and connected
products, from the expected, vehicles and TVs, to the unexpected,
inhalers, kitchen appliances, trash cans.
With the explosion of smart and connected products comes the
need to navigate complex licensing negotiations and litigation over
standard-essential patents in communications and networking
technologies.
