The Issues of Patent & Std.

There are increase in number of patents related to TTA standards lately. However,

It is difficult to identify essentiality of the informed patent(s) related to the Standards.

It is difficult to update the data that is included in the IPR confirmation.(such as patent holder, Registration number, etc.)
