Samsung Electronics takes license to Wilus Wi-Fi portfolio through Sisvel Wi-Fi Multimode Program

SEOUL, July 14, 2026: Samsung Electronics has taken a license to Wilus’ portfolio of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 standard essential patents (SEPs) through an agreement with the Sisvel Wi-Fi Multimode patent pool. The agreement further validates the strength of Wilus’ innovations and reflects the growing recognition of its contributions to global wireless standards.

This agreement resolves pending US patent litigation between Wilus and Samsung Electronics in the Eastern District of Texas and underscores Wilus’ commitment to the amicable resolution of licensing disagreements, with legal action as a last resort.

Samsung Electronics has also become a licensor in the Sisvel Wi-Fi Multimode program, which now offers a pool license covering the Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 SEP portfolios of 11 leading innovators.

In addition to Samsung Electronics, Wi-Fi Multimode pool licensees include ASUS, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Huawei, Microsoft, Panasonic, Philips, Sony Group Corporation and ZTE. The predecessor Sisvel Wi-Fi 6 patent pool completed deals with more than 40 companies, including Acer, Cisco, HP, and Netgear. Wilus has also announced bilateral Wi-Fi 6 agreements with Lenovo and LG Electronics.

“Today marks another important milestone for Wilus and further demonstrates the global value of our R&D-driven innovation and standardization efforts,” says Wilus founder and CEO Dr. Jin Sam Kwak. “We are pleased that our dispute with Samsung Electronics has ended in this settlement, and we welcome the addition of another major Korean SEP portfolio to the Sisvel Wi-Fi Multimode program.”

“We look forward to working with Samsung Electronics as partners in the leading global patent pool for Wi-Fi,” Dr. Kwak continues. “As more global implementers recognize the value of our Wi-Fi innovations, we remain committed to licensing our SEP portfolio either bilaterally or through the Sisvel pool on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms.”
