Semiconductors are at the heart of modern cutting-edge technologies starting from 5G and advanced computing to consumer electronics. They are currently on the R&D agenda of many firms across the globe. On the surface, innovators are always trying to turn their inventions into IP assets which highly accelerates patenting activities in the industry. According to USPTO, EPO, CNIPA<\/a>, the number of semiconductor-related filings was on a stable rise during the last few years. Given the increasing demand for this technology, the probability is high that the number of applications in the area will continue to grow in the future.<\/p>\n The intensification of patenting activities can potentially represent a scalable business development venue for many IP law firms. Following the trend, IP Pilot<\/a> decided to dive deeply into the topic. We specifically took the perspective of European law firms to give you a rough overview of the “state of the IP art” in this technological field and to help evaluate the potentials and opportunities that semiconductors can bring to your patent firm.<\/p>\n Our report, thus, covers the following questions:<\/p>\n\n
