Helping Foster the Cycle of Virtuous Creation

Navigate LLC is a patent licensing company focused on the responsible commercialization of standard essential patents (SEPs) across globally adopted technology standards. The company works with innovators and implementers to enable efficient access to standardized technologies while promoting transparency, predictability, and fair value in licensing.

Navigate specializes in the licensing of patents that are essential to the implementation of industry standards developed by recognized standard‑setting organizations (SSOs). These standards underpin interoperability and compatibility in modern products and services, particularly in sectors such as communications, connectivity, multimedia, and digital infrastructure.

The company’s licensing approach is grounded in fair, reasonable, and non‑discriminatory (FRAND) principles, reflecting the commitments typically associated with standard essential patents. Navigate seeks to facilitate balanced outcomes that respect the contributions of patent holders while enabling broad adoption of standards by manufacturers and service providers.
