LUXEMBOURG, April 02, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yoshinori Shimizu has become managing director of the Japanese office of Sisvel, Europe's biggest and longest-established patent pool operator. The appointment coincides with the retirement of Tetsuro Fuse, who will continue to work with Sisvel in an advisory capacity. Mr Shimizu is widely acknowledged as one of Japan's leading IP professionals and most recently served as Deputy General Manager of the Corporate Export Control Division at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, where he worked for 29 years.

He has also played a key role in several patent pool initiatives, including those operated by Sisvel. As managing director of Sisvel Japan, Mr Shimizu will work closely with Sisvel's global leadership team to drive the continued growth of the firm's licensing programmes in Japan and across Asia. "Having worked with Sisvel as a business partner for nearly a decade, I greatly admire its creativity and dynamism," Mr. Shimizu says.

Sisvel Welcomes EU SEP Regulation Rethink
LUXEMBOURG, February 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sisvel, Europe's largest and longest-established patent pool operator, welcomes the European Commission's decision to reassess the proposed EU regulation on standard essential patents. This move aligns with the principles spelled out in the Draghi report and the EU's new agenda on competitiveness and reinforces European leadership in standards-related innovation. Sisvel shares the Commission's aims of increasing transparency around SEPs, reducing transaction costs and facilitating licence agreements on FRAND terms. Indeed, these are the challenges we work hard to solve every day as a patent pool operator. However, we spoke out against the proposed regulation from the very beginning because we felt strongly that it did not advance those aims. Instead, it jeopardised European global leadership in connectivity R&D and standards-setting by saddling innovators with a new and burdensome layer of bureaucracy, while potentially imposing additional costs on European SMEs to the benefit of large technology implementers. We are encouraged by the European Commission's new focus on restoring European competitiveness. The decision to withdraw the SEP regulation is a solid step in this direction. The removal of a major uncertainty will bring immediate relief to European innovators, who have a central role to play in restoring dynamism and boosting growth. As the Commission weighs whether to introduce another proposal or adopt a different approach, our door is open. We stand ready to share our deep knowledge of the SEP environment acquired over more than 40 years and to explain how patent pools promote transparent, efficient and equitable access to world-class technology. About Sisvel Sisvel is driven by a belief in the importance of collaboration, ingenuity and efficiency to bridge the needs of patent owners and those who wish to access their technologies. In a complex and constantly evolving marketplace, our guiding principle is to create a level playing field with the development and implementation of flexible, accessible, commercialisation solutions.
