A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about a problem with the ratification of IEEE 802.11ax (aka Wi-Fi 6) as an ISO/IEC/IEEE "international" standard. I called on ISO to resolve the issue simply by following their own rules.
Of course, nothing has happened, at least partially the result of my blogs having limited reach. So, my first request is for you (the reader), if you care about the issues discussed, to forward my blogs to people who have more influence.
I also did not really expect ISO to do anything because they haven't moved since 2021 despite their part in a solution being obvious. So, in this blog I am suggesting an alternate path to resolution that recognises the likely underlying motivations of the companies that have declined to provide RAND licenses for IEEE 802.11ax under the IEEE SA Patent Policy.
I call on Ericsson, Interdigital, Panasonic, Huawei, KPN & Nokia to provide (hopefully positive) patent declarations to ISO under the ISO Patent Policy in relation to any patents they may own that read on IEEE 802.11ax!
The attached file explains the situation and the call for action in more detail. It includes some links; you may have to download the pdf to access the links.

Andrew Myles thanks for sharing your thoughts. Does it impact the release of Wi-fi6 chipsets and WFA certification?
We are already gearing upfor Wi-Fi7...
Andrew Myles - thanks for posting this.
It feels like one of those situations where our customers would be baffled that we (the industry) can't work it out.
I am happy to announce that I was recently granted my 94th patent entitled Mobile telecommunications network access point configuration and fiber routing configuration for customer premises equipment Patent number: 12101121
This is my 94th patent in addition to my 3 Canadian patents for a total of 97.
Abstract: Mobile telecommunications network access point configuration and fiber routing configuration for customer premises equipment is disclosed. A customer premises component (CPE) can comprise a customer premises mobile broadband to steerable fiber component (CPC) comprising a baseband control unit, a user-plane function component, and a fiber path selection component that can enable configuration of a cellular frontend facing a user equipment (UE) and configuration of a fiber backend facing other endpoint devices. The CPC can receive information pertinent to the configuring the frontend/backend from a network management component, a carrier network component, and internet component, etc. The CPC can automatically adapt configuration of the frontend/backend to selectively enable traffic to flow between the UE and another endpoint device.

Essence of the decision of PRC(China) invalidation No. 5W133467
(Non-Patentable Subject Matter for China Utility Model):
Utility model patents protect improvements to products. The claims can specify the shape or structure of the product using names of known methods, but cannot include improvements to the method itself. If a product claim relies on a computer program to control and operate various hardware modules to achieve its technical effect, and there is no evidence that such control and operation are known methods, then the claimed technical solution essentially includes an improvement to the method (such as the computer program) and is not eligible for utility model patent protection.

🖥️ Patenting Computer Implemented Inventions (CIIs, aka software) has become very challenging.
🤓 Last month, IP Australia published the results of their targeted consultation on the patenting of CIIs in Australia, trying to address stakeholder concerns and discussing potential legislative changes and examination practices.
Some interesting take aways include:
1️⃣ State of the Law:
Most respondents find the current state of the law on patentable subject matter for CIIs in Australia confusing and uncertain, exacerbated by the High Court’s split decision in Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Patents.
#nokidding
2️⃣ Potential for Legislative Change:
There is no clear consensus on legislative changes. There is caution about making changes while the US is considering its own legislative changes. Apparently some respondents suggest reconsidering the Manner of Manufacture (MoM) test, while others believe it remains fit for purpose ⁉️ #who
3️⃣ IP Australia’s Practice – Criticisms include:
👉 Inconsistent application of the law #yip
👉insufficient information in examination reports #becauseisayso
👉and the perception that IP Australia is acting as an advocate rather than an impartial authority.
(The Patent Office is literally appealing court decisions...! #nowhereelseintheworld 🤷♀️ )
4️⃣ Effect on Business and Innovation:
Difficulties in obtaining patent protection for CIIs in Australia are affecting IP strategies, business innovation, and investment decisions. Licensing decisions and venture capital funding are also impacted due to uncertainties in patentability. 💯
5️⃣ Next Steps and Further Research:
IP Australia plans further economic and policy analysis on CII patentability, including the economic impacts on investment and innovation, and exploring practices in other jurisdictions. Additional examples will be developed to clarify practices for stakeholders.
#toolittletoolate
🌏 In addition, CII patent applications in Australia, Europe and the US were analysed.
According to the results published at the link below, #Australia seems to be somewhere in the middle in between the US and Europe with respect to both filing and prosecution:
👉32% of patent applications filed at IP Australia were classified as CII, compared with 41% at the EPO and 50% at the USPTO.
👉For the CII-PSM-likely-adverse applications, the USPTO has the highest grant rate at 68%, the EPO the lowest at 27% and IP Australia is in between at 54%.
Computer implemented inventions (CII), or “software related inventions”, account for about a third of patent applications in Australia.
Find out how these CII patent applications and their outcomes compare with patent activity in the United States and Europe in our latest economic research report.
