We are pleased to share that Acer has secured a license to Wilus’ foundational portfolio of Wi-Fi 6 standard essential patents through a recent agreement with the Sisvel Wi-Fi 6 patent pool. The addition of Acer as a licensee represents a significant step forward for the Sisvel Wi-Fi 6 licensing program, in which Wilus is a founding patent owner.
This development brings an end to relevant litigation that had been pending between Wilus and Acer and underscores Wilus’ commitment to amicable resolutions, with legal action as a last resort.

We are proud to share that Wilus has been named a member of the Asia IP Elite by IAM, the leading publication focused on intellectual property value creation in the technology sector.
The Asia IP Elite is selected independently by the IAM editorial team, and honors companies in the region that place patents and other forms of intellectual property at the heart of their business strategies. This is Wilus’ first appearance on the list.
In announcing Wilus’ selection, IAM acknowledged its contribution to global technology standards, noting that Wilus “acquires up to 400 newly granted patents every year and actively participates in the development of next-generation mobile, Wi-Fi and A/V codec standards in 3GPP, IEEE and MPEG”.
Wilus is one of just 11 Korean entities selected, and it is the only Korean member that is not a state-funded research institution or part of a large conglomerate.
