This report presents a comprehensive essentiality analysis of companies having patents with respect to the IEEE 802.11ax standard. Using a combination of relevant keywords and CPCs, 3000+ distinct patent families related to Wi-Fi 6 technologies were identified.

After an in-depth analysis, 2011 active and granted patents were shortlisted that are exclusively related to Wi-Fi 6. Furthermore, 78 patent applications are pending at various patent offices and, therefore, were not included in the final dataset. Only active granted patents were further considered for evaluation.

The analysis covered major Wi-Fi 6 technology areas, including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, beamforming, TWT, BSS color, spatial streams, and 160 MHz. Each patent was assessed through a detailed mapping of its independent claim elements to corresponding sections of the IEEE 802.11ax standard to evaluate technical alignment.

What you’ll get:

  • Top Assignees for Wi-Fi 6 Patents

  • Technology Distribution of Wi-Fi 6 Essential Patents

  • Major Companies with Essential Patents

  • Essentiality analysis of Wi-Fi 6 patents

Description

We follow a 4-step process to extract a patent dataset specifically related to Wi-Fi 6. Starting from thorough research of Wi-Fi 6 documents to the preparation of a detailed taxonomy, filtration of patents through CPCs, discussion dates, and other relevant search strings. Thereby, categorizing each patent based on its relevance and then extracting patent claims for further study.

By following this methodical approach, our team successfully prepared a portfolio comprising approximately 3000+ patents related to Wi-Fi 6 features.

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.
