Wilus CEO Dr. Jin Sam Kwak and principal engineer Minseok Noh recently had the chance to participate in a ‘licensor spotlight’ interview with Avanci. Wilus has been an Avanci licensor since 2021, making the latest mobile technologies to the market through the Avanci platform.
In the interview, the Wilus experts discuss their innovation journeys, future areas of research focus, and advice for aspiring R&D professionals. The full article is available at the link below.
Wilus is pleased to announce that it is a founding member in Sisvel's new Wi-Fi 6 patent pool. The pool provides access to the standard-essential Wi-Fi 6 patents owned by Wilus and four other founding members on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms.
The Sisvel Wi-Fi 6 pool features an innovative new payment framework known as the Licensing Incentive Framework for Technologies (LIFT). The scheme adjusts licensees' royalty payments based on the percentage of the market that is licensed.
Wilus CEO Dr. Jin Sam Kwak said: “Wilus endorses LIFT, the alternative scheme for sponsoring the adoption of this new technology for implementers. Adjusting royalty payments based on the global market penetration of Wi-Fi 6 licenses can incentivize adoption. With LIFT, the Wi-Fi 6 pool is made more attractive to potential licensees.”

Wilus CEO Dr. Jin Sam Kwak was recently interviewed by Electronic Times about trends in the core technology of the Wi-Fi standard, as well as particular application solutions.
Dr. Kwak talked about Wilus’ recent development of a Wi-Fi sensing technology that detects motion based on wireless signal distortion caused by the movement of a target without the need for additional devices.
Dr. Kwak also discussed Wilus’ mission to improve people’s lives through the development of standardized technologies. It takes years of technology development and standardization before a technology is ready for market. Wi-Fi 6, which is widely utilized in the market today, took four to five years of technology development before commercialization.
Today, world-changing technologies are being developed in various standardization groups, and Wilus remains actively involved in the development of these technologies through standards organizations including IEEE, 3GPP, and MPEG.
The full interview (in Korean) is available at the link below.
Wilus is pleased to announce that it has appointed Sisvel as licensing administrator of its Wi-Fi 6 patent portfolio.
Sisvel is making Wilus’ valuable portfolio accessible on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms by offering a royalty-bearing, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive license, with no right to grant sublicenses, under Wilus' patent portfolio essential to the 802.11ax specification.
Wilus has been actively participating in and contributing its innovations to the Wi-Fi 6 standardisation process since the very beginning of its development in 2014. It is among the top technical contributors to the standard.
Wilus CEO Dr. Jin Sam Kwak said: “At Wilus we are constantly developing advanced standards technologies for enabling and enhancing wireless connectivity and immersive multi-media services. We are striving to contribute technically to the evolution of ICT standards with our own innovation.”
