I'm part of 5G research and you would find my name on some 5G patents (and on 4G and 3G ... which means i do this now for long time).

Actually depending on the local law (EU here) usage is usage.

Most patent holders (i.e. the mobile communication industry, think Qualcomm, Ericssion, Huawei, Intel, Nokia, Operators etc.) don't enforce patents on non-commercial activities. If you make money with standards that have patents applied there are licensing schemes.
