/who we are
Built on Invention. Driven by Results.
WiLAN was founded in 1992 as a technology inventor pioneering W-OFDM, the wireless modulation standard that underpins modern WiFi, and other wireless technologies.
Today, we acquire patents from IP owners of all sizes to unlock the economic value embedded in their patents. Our licensing approach is principled, transparent, and commercially rigorous — preferring negotiated settlements over litigation wherever possible.
Most programs generate licensing revenue within 24 months.
