Lenovo will lend its scale and industry expertise to a coalition working to keep standard-essential patent licensing fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory.
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2026 / Lenovo announced that it has joined Save Our Standards, a U.S.-based coalition of innovators, manufacturers, small businesses, associations, academics, and consumer advocates dedicated to reinforcing fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) licensing commitments for standard-essential patents (SEPs).
Technical standards are critical to innovation, interoperability, and global competitiveness. They let products from different companies work together, lower barriers for new entrants, and give the technologies people rely on every day a common, trusted foundation. The system works best when it stays in balance: innovators are fairly rewarded for their contributions, and the companies that build on those standards can license them on reasonable terms. That balance is the heart of FRAND.
As both a licensor and a licensee of intellectual property, Lenovo supports efforts that preserve balanced FRAND licensing policies for SEPs, promote fair competition, and help ensure that companies can keep investing in the next generation of technologies that benefit businesses and consumers.
