Abstract
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks further understanding of the current marketplace for ATSC 3.0 Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) and the ability of third parties to develop products that rely upon them. The Commission also seeks comment on the impact on consumers if the Commission were to adopt, or not adopt, rules to require essential patent holders in 3.0 technology to commit to licensing them on reasonable and non- discriminatory (RAND) terms.
