Telecommunications, Semiconductor & Electronics
Few areas are more technically demanding, or more heavily litigated, than telecoms and the hardware beneath it. Our experts cover mobile networks from 2G to 5G with emerging 6G, 3GPP standards and standard-essential patents, RF and semiconductor architecture, embedded systems and network performance. Whether the question is infringement, essentiality or why a network behaved as it did, we provide rigorous, impartial analysis for patent, regulatory and commercial disputes.
What we cover
- Mobile networks from 2G to 5G (and emerging 6G)
- 3GPP standards and standard-essential patents
- RF and semiconductor architecture
- Embedded systems and network performance
- Infringement, essentiality and patent analysis
Standard-essential patents and FRAND
Telecommunications is EVO’s deepest specialism, and standard-essential patent (SEP) and FRAND disputes are where that depth matters most. Our bench includes experts who have prepared expert reports and given live evidence in telecoms patent disputes: assessing essentiality against the 3GPP specifications, analysing infringement and validity, and preparing the detailed claim charts these cases turn on.
Mobile networks, from 2G to 5G and beyond
Our experts cover mobile and wireless networks across every generation from 2G and 3G through 4G and 5G, with the emerging 6G standards. That spans network design, rollout, optimisation and performance, and the analysis of real-world behaviour such as interference and capacity, whether the question is why a network performed as it did or how a standard is implemented in practice.
RF, semiconductor and the silicon beneath the standard
Beneath the network sits the hardware. Our bench spans RF architecture and engineering, semiconductor and RFIC design, and software-defined radio, alongside embedded systems and automotive radar. That lets us address disputes that reach down into the chip and the radio, not just the protocol, and to explain clearly how the two connect.
What our analysis delivers
We translate dense technical and standards material into clear, impartial evidence: CPR Part 35 compliant expert reports, essentiality and infringement analysis, invalidity and prior-art assessments, technical due diligence, joint statements with opposing experts, and oral testimony under cross-examination. The work is built to survive scrutiny in the forums where these disputes are decided, from the Patents Court in London to the Unified Patent Court and international arbitration.
