Securing Western Leadership in Global 5G Standards and Patents

Abstract

Without a cohesive, coordinated U.S.-led standards development strategy, the U.S. and Western, like-minded nations stand to lose leadership on more than just 5G wireless communications technologies. If the West loses the capability to shape the standards to define 5G, China could win 6G and nG (any future G). Whichever country, or collection of like-minded countries, leads in the development and deployment of the latest technology will see more economic growth from that technology, which translates into not just technological and economic power, but also geopolitical power.
