MANUAL ASSESSMENT OF WILUS' PATENT PORTFOLIO IN RELATION TO WI-FI 6 STANDARD
This analysis provides insight into Wilus’ contributions to Wi-Fi 6, highlighting its participation in the development of key enabling technologies through patents aligned with core aspects of the IEEE 802.11ax standard.
Using a combination of relevant keywords and CPCs, 58 distinct Wilus patent families related to Wi-Fi 6 technologies were identified.
The analysis covered major Wi-Fi 6 technology areas, including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, beamforming, TWT, BSS color, and spatial streams.
What you’ll get:
To assess a patent’s essentiality, each claim is manually analysed by our technical expert team with respect to the Wi-Fi 6 standard to verify whether all claim elements are present. We have classified a patent as potentially essential, potentially non-essential, or medium based on the following criteria:
- A patent is classified as potentially essential if claim elements align with the Wi-Fi 6 specifications.
- Conversely, the patent is classified as potentially non-essential if any element is missing or conflicts with the standard, such as contradictory requirements or descriptions.
- A patent is marked as medium if the main technical aspects are present in the Wi-Fi 6 standard, but some elements are not explicitly defined and can only be reasonably inferred from the identified sections.
Below is an example of the analysis of one of Wilus' patents:
