## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability patentpulse-sep-landscape-frand-licensing-lookup-ce91b7ff
```

Example prompt: Give me the full SEP landscape for 5G — who are the major patent holders, which patent pools cover it, and what are the FRAND royalty dynamics I should know about before licensing?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to understand the SEP/FRAND licensing landscape for a specific technical standard — ideal for IP due diligence, licensing negotiations, product compliance assessments, or competitive intelligence in standards-heavy industries. Prefer this over generic patent search when the question is specifically about standard-essential patents and pool/royalty structures rather than individual patent lookup or prior art.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or unsupported standard name returns an error or empty result
- Standard is too niche or emerging with insufficient SEP data
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error
- Ambiguous standard name (e.g. 'WiFi' vs 'WiFi6' vs '802.11ax') may return partial or mismatched results

## How this service works

Standard essential patent (SEP) landscape / FRAND licensing / patent-pool lookup for a technical standard (5G, WiFi6, HEVC, H.264, AV1, USB-C, LTE, NFC, MP3, AAC, and more). Returns major SEP holders, patent pools, royalty/licensing dynamics, and related patents. For IP and licensing agents. Worldwide.

## Output

A structured report covering the major SEP holders for the requested standard, relevant patent pools, FRAND licensing dynamics and royalty rates, and a list of related standard-essential patents — providing an actionable licensing intelligence overview.
