Canon welcomes this opportunity to share its thinking on the EU SEP Regulation proposal. In summary, Canon admires the European Commission for its ambition to develop an ecosystem to increase transparency and predictability in SEP licensing. However, interventions in the market such as the present SEP Regulation should be led by evidence of actual problems in the market and should be proportionate to the problems identified by the evidence. Canon doubts that sufficient evidence of problems has been obtained prior to the announcement of the present Regulation, especially of problems affecting SMEs who in practice are rarely, if ever, the target of SEP licensing. Also, the solutions proposed in the regulation seem over-ambitious and heavy-handed. In short, they are out of proportion to any actual problems which exist in SEP licensing. Please see the attached PDF file for more details. Thank you.
