The most comprehensive analysis of Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, and Wi-Fi 7 patent landscapes available anywhere. 5,337 patent families mapped to the IEEE 802.11 specification — clause by clause.
Four ways teams overlook upside in their Wi-Fi licensing programs — and how a standard-anchored landscape closes each gap.
Wi-Fi 7 has 2,565 patent families across 15+ entities. Every 802.11be device on the market practices hundreds of them. Do you know how your portfolio stacks up?
Huawei jumped from 4th to 2nd in Wi-Fi 7. Samsung surged from 7th to 5th. New entrants like BBK and Xiaomi hold 100+ families each. Are you tracking these shifts?
When licensees challenge the relevance of your portfolio, you need a defensible analysis that demonstrates your patents' alignment to the IEEE specification — clause by clause.
EHT PHY and MLD account for 76% of all Wi-Fi 7 families. Are your own Wi-Fi patents positioned in the highest-value technology areas? Where do you stand?
Designed for licensing executives, IP strategists, and corporate development teams who need defensible, standard-anchored evidence.
18-page executive report covering Wi-Fi 5, 6, and 7 patent landscapes with methodology, leaderboards, technology breakdowns, and strategic implications.
22-slide presentation-ready deck with charts, infographics, and competitive intelligence designed for board-level briefings and strategy sessions.
Complete dataset of all identified patent families mapped to taxonomy nodes, alignment scores, and assignee information across three Wi-Fi generations.
Ranked patent holder analysis across Wi-Fi 5, 6, and 7 with technology-category breakdowns showing who leads where and how positions are shifting.
Detailed breakdown of patenting by standard-defined feature areas including EHT PHY, MLD, OFDMA, MIMO, Power Management, and 25+ additional categories.
Full documentation of the standard-first approach, LEXA platform process, alignment scoring, and quality assurance protocols for defensibility.
Generic keyword-based reports treat every patent that mentions "Wi-Fi" as relevant. We start with the IEEE specification itself — and let the standard define what matters.
We start from the IEEE 802.11 specification, not keyword searches. Every patent traces back to a specific standard clause through our LEXA AI platform.
Every patent mapping is reviewed by subject matter experts for standard alignment, taxonomy classification, and functional relevance — not bulk download.
We deliberately exclude HARQ, Multi-AP Joint TX, and metaverse/AR-VR categories that appear in competing reports but are not in the finalized 802.11be standard.
Each patent receives a 0–100% Alignment Score measuring claim-to-standard mapping — distinguishing essential patents from tangentially related filings.
Every tier includes the full standard-anchored landscape report. Upgrade for raw data, briefings, and ongoing intelligence.
Across licensing, portfolio strategy, and M&A — standard-anchored intelligence delivers leverage that generic reports can't match.
| Alternative | Time to Deliver | Standard-Anchored | Defensibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build in-house (patent team) | 6–12 months | Varies | Depends on team |
| Commission an exclusive study | 3–6 months | Rarely | Limited |
| Generic keyword-based report | Immediate | No | Weak |
| Dolcera Wi-Fi Patent Report | Immediate | ✓ IEEE-derived | Litigation-grade |
Even small lifts in negotiated royalty rates across a major licensee base can far exceed the cost of intelligence. Standard-anchored evidence makes those gains defensible at the negotiating table.
Identifying that your portfolio underweights MLD Architecture (833 families, 32.5% of Wi-Fi 7) lets you redirect prosecution spend before competitors lock up the space.
Evaluating a patent acquisition target? This leaderboard provides an instant benchmark of their Wi-Fi position vs. the top 15 holders.
Proprietary AI engine purpose-built for standards-based patent analysis. Not a generic keyword tool — designed from the ground up for SEP identification.
Deep working knowledge of 802.11ac, ax, and be specifications. Our analysts understand the standard at the clause level, not just the marketing summary.
Our standard-first approach has been refined over years of patent-to-standard mapping. The traceability chain is designed to withstand litigation scrutiny.
Beyond Wi-Fi, Dolcera has conducted similar analyses for 5G NR, HEVC/VVC, AV1, and other major standards — battle-tested methodology in every engagement.
