<p>In December 2021, the Government launched a Call for Views on whether or not the
current Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) ecosystem promotes competition and encourages
innovation. In its August 2022 Summary of Responses the Government said that there
was little consensus on the nature, extent, causes, and impact of problems in the
ecosystem. A subsequent questionnaire was launched in March 2023, to better understand
the experiences of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), small-cap and mid-cap businesses.
A Summary of Responses will be published in Summer 2023. Findings on the SEPs ecosystem
will be presented to Ministers in late 2023.</p>
