Abstract
In judicial practice, there is currently no unified calculation standard for the licensing fees of standard essential patents (SEPs). The main reasons for the difficulties in determining licensing fees are the ambiguity of the FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory) principle, the lack of universally applicable allocation rules, the complexity of influencing factors, and inconsistent calculation methods. To calculate SEP licensing fees, it is necessary to clarify the different applicable values of allocation rules and overall market value rules, specify the SEP holder’s FRAND licensing obligations, the SEP holder's information disclosure obligations, and the standard-setting organization’s obligation to review necessity. A comprehensive approach to considering the specific circumstances of each case can improve the accuracy of SEP licensing fee calculations.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
