ABA Webinar: SEPs in 4K: Licensing Disputes in the Streaming Era

October 20, 2026

O’Melveny partner Shawnna Yashar will be a guest speaker for the American Bar Association’s webinar on SEPs in 4K which will be focused on a streaming era discussion on licensing disputes. “Demands on video streaming over broadband have increased dramatically in recent years, driven by pandemic-era increases in digital video consumption and consumer shifts from traditional cable to over-the-top services. Panelists will give an overview of these SEP disputes around video codecs and analyze their trajectory against a backdrop of SEP disputes in other industries.”

Shawnna Yashar is a seasoned global intellectual property litigator and license negotiator having served as lead counsel and chief negotiator in disputes spanning six continents. She routinely advises clients on strategies surrounding global rate setting actions and interim licenses, having brought some of the very first global SEP rate setting actions in the UK and China.
