South Korea's Wilus Institute of Standards and Technology Inc. has escalated its patent monetization strategy, filing a patent infringement lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas in September 2024. The suit targets major companies, including Samsung Electronics, HP, and Askey Computer, alleging infringement of 14 patents.
These patents are part of a portfolio of 38 U.S. patents that Wilus acquired from SK Telecom in May 2024. The portfolio covers various wireless communication technologies, including frame transmission, multi-user simultaneous transmission, legacy system coexistence, non-contiguous channels, Basic Service Set (BSS), and Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA).
Wilus has filed two separate patent infringement cases against Samsung in the same court, asserting eight patents, including the '077 patent, along with the '281, '595, '210, '035, '163, '597, and '879 patents. Wilus has identified the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra as one of the products allegedly infringing its patents.
Of the 38 patents in Wilus's SK Telecom acquisition, eight are still pending registration. Wilus is expected to define the scope of these patents in line with market and manufacturing trends before pursuing further monetization efforts.
In 2022, Wilus secured licensing rights to 75 patents from SK Telecom. Of the 38 patents Wilus acquired from SK Telecom in 2024, 20 were previously licensed to Wilus under the 2022 agreement.
Wilus claims that, since its founding in 2012, it has developed wireless communication and multimedia technologies. The company asserts that with a team of 20 engineers and inventors, it has contributed more than 700 technical submissions to major standards bodies, including 3GPP (for LTE and 5G), IEEE 802.11 (for Wi-Fi 6, 7, and beyond), and MPEG (for MPEG-H 3D Audio & Versatile Video Coding).
