The analysis offers an in-depth patent landscape of WiFi 7 covering 11,500 patents and 3,000 patent families filed from January 2016 to December 2024 and sourced from global patent offices.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GreyB has recently released its "", providing exclusive details into the technological advancements shaping the next generation of connectivity.

GreyB's experts analysed over 11,500 patents and 3,000 patent families contributing to the WiFi 7 landscape. The research focuses on emerging WiFi 7 technologies that promise to enhance connectivity in modern life. This extensive dataset, spanning from January 2016 to December 2024, is sourced from global patent offices.

The methodology focuses on contributions to the IEEE TGbe workgroup, ensuring accuracy by eliminating redundancies and highlighting active advancements in WiFi 7 standards.

Key Highlights from the Analysis:

1. Technology Analysis: From faster downloads to longer battery life, WiFi 7 introduces technologies designed to elevate everyday gaming and streaming experiences. The analysis provides an in-depth look at core technologies, including:

• Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Supports uninterrupted streaming and gaming through seamless multi-band data transfer.
• 4K QAM Modulation: Enables blazing-fast downloads to meet growing data demands.
• Restricted Target Wake Time (TWT): Boosts energy efficiency, extending battery life for connected devices.

2. Landscape Overview: The analysis maps patent activity in WiFi 7 technologies from 2016 to 2024, reflecting steady growth in filings with notable peaks in 2023. The United States leads with 1,300 patent families, followed by China with 786, and other global hotspots like South Korea and Japan.

3. Patent activity: Companies such as Qualcomm, Ericsson, and ZTE show reduced patent activity in WiFi technologies. However, this trend is expected to shift as many recently filed patent applications are still under review and may become public in the next few years.

4. Litigation Landscape: The absence of a WiFi 7 patent pool increases the risk of licensing disputes and litigation as companies compete to establish royalty frameworks in 2025 and 2026. This emphasizes the need to identify standard essential patents (SEP) and align intellectual property with new standards.

Top WiFi 7 companies revealed in the analysis:

• Huawei
• LG
• Intel
• Qualcomm
• Samsung
• Canon
• Mediatek
• Sony
• Oppo
• Xiaomi

While the names are familiar to WiFi 6, their positions have shifted dramatically in the race for WiFi 7 dominance. The patent landscape analysis details how their strategies and contributions have evolved compared to previous standards. Additionally, it emphasizes the trends in WiFi 7 patent transactions and licensing, revealing opportunities to acquire high-value patents and establish partnerships with leading patent filers.
