However, as C-V2X deployment accelerates globally, a new wave of SEP licensing risk is emerging, one that goes beyond traditional 4G\/5G connectivity disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As C-V2X rolls out across markets, licensing risk is quietly shifting.<br>Not because automakers are doing something wrong.<br>But because licensing models haven\u2019t caught up with how V2X is actually deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This webinar changes the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not about&nbsp;<em>what could be used<\/em>.<br>But about&nbsp;<em>what is actually used<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And why that difference matters more than most companies realize.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"hubspot-form-container\" id=\"hsf\"><div class=\"hubspot-form-pictures\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/greyb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IP-Webinars-Assets-2.jpg\" \/><\/div><text><script charset='ecutf-8' type='text\/javascript' src='\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js'><\/script><script >hbspt.forms.create({     portalId: \"1791848\",     formId: \"cb79eeaa-4ae1-4a46-aeca-3cb794ea18f0\",     region: \"na2\"   });
