This report provides a detailed analysis of SK Telecom’s patent portfolio wrt Wi-Fi 6. To identify relevant patents, comprehensive searches were conducted across multiple patent databases using a combination of search strings, IPC/CPC classifications, and Wi-Fi 6 specific keywords. Since the Wi-Fi 6 standard was officially published in February 2021, the search focused exclusively on patents with a priority date on or before February 2021.

A total of 46 unique and active patent families were identified for SK Telecom.

This analysis focuses on understanding the scope, relevance, and potential essentiality of SK Telecom’s patent portfolio in relation to key Wi-Fi 6 technologies such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, beamforming, BSS color, spatial stream, and TWT.

What you’ll get:

  • Essentiality analysis of SK Telecom's patent portfolio

  • Relevant independent claim

  • Target entity of independent claim

  • Patents that are potentially essential to Wi-Fi 6 standard

  • Patents that are potentially non-essential to Wi-Fi 6 standard

Description

To identify SK Telecom’s patents related to Wi-Fi 6, we employed Wi-Fi 6 relevant keywords such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Target Wake Time (TWT), Basic Service Set (BSS) Color, High-Efficiency (HE), 802.11ax, 160 MHz, beamforming, spatial streams, 78.125 kHz, 1024-QAM, spatial reuse, Resource Unit (RU) allocation, etc. The CPCs used for filtering included H04W, H04W 84/12, H04W 72/04, H04W 72/12, H04W 52/02, H04W 52/36, H04W 88/08, H04B, H04B 7/06, etc.

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.
