Due to the often complex and challenging nature of patent litigation, various strategies can be used to navigate and mitigate its impact. These strategies include collaborative approaches such as patent pooling and policy data mobile number reforms aimed at reducing the creation and impact of patent congestion.
4.1. Patent Pooling and Cross-Licensing Patent pooling is a strategy in which multiple patent holders agree to license their patents to each other or to third parties. This approach can reduce litigation and lower transaction costs, making it easier for companies to access necessary technologies. Cross-licensing agreements, in which companies grant each other licenses to use their patented technologies, can mitigate the restrictive effects of patent congestion and promote innovation.
