On Standard Essential Patents and Transportation

Welcome to AccelPro Intellectual Property Law, where we provide interviews and products to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation about standard essential patents and the transportation industry. Our guest is Chris Storm, Legal Director, Intellectual Property at Uber.

Standard essential patents (SEPs) play an essential role in the transportation ecosystem. These patents, which cover innovations fundamental to achieving technical standards, help ensure interoperability and consistency across diverse technologies. Due to their importance, a set of legal and economic frameworks have grown around SEPs.

Chris Storm is Uber’s Legal Director, Intellectual Property, where he oversees IP strategy and protection for Uber. He previously worked as assistant general counsel at Bell Helicopter and as an associate at Baker Botts LLP. Storm speaks and writes frequently about topics related to IP licensing.

In this interview, Storm discusses SEPs, the transportation industry, and related topics including non-competes and legal frameworks for interoperability.
