Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs) are actively acquiring high-quality 4G\/5G patents and turning them into impressive returns through strategic licensing and enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asian telecom companies are catching on. Many are now exploring how to unlock new value by partnering with NPEs who know how to put these patents to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at what\u2019s been happening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In April 2024, Apex Beam Technologies launched a 5G litigation campaign against Apple. The patents in question were acquired from Chinese telecom firm Shanghai Langbo Communication Technology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last year, Pegasus Wireless Innovation picked up 5G assets from Korea\u2019s KT Corporation, using them in litigation against major US carriers like AT&amp;T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And in another high-profile case, PanOptis secured a $300M win against Apple over 4G\/LTE patents originally owned by companies like Samsung, Panasonic, and LG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just the highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re exploring ways to maximize your own 4G\/5G portfolio or simply interested in accessing a complete list of NPEs actively acquiring 4G\/5G patents, I\u2019d love to share insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can connect for a quick chat \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/info.greyb.com\/meetings\/oorja\">https:\/\/info.greyb.com\/meetings\/oorja<\/a> or reach out to me via this form \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/greyb.com\/become-a-client\">https:\/\/greyb.com\/become-a-client<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":55484,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_angie_page":false,"content-type":"","service_relation":["66585","28136"],"industry_relation":["25806","61081"]},"newsletter_category":[1868,1853],"class_list":["post-72518","newsletter","type-newsletter","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newsletter_category-5g","newsletter_category-ict-telecommunication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Take 4G 5G Patents From Paperweights to Profit! - GreyB<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sitting on unused 4G\/5G patents?
