HP Inc. has signed a licensing agreement with the Sisvel Wi-Fi 6 patent pool, resolving patent infringement disputes with several members including Huawei, the Wilus Institute and Philips. The deal, announced on November 18, 2025, gives HP access to approximately 2,000 patents essential to the Wi-Fi 6 standard (IEEE 802.11ax), spanning 245 patent families. Huawei, which has been on the US Commerce Department’s Entity List since May 2019, has been a foundational member of the pool since July 2022. By routing the agreement through this multilateral pool administered in Europe under FRAND principles, both companies avoided a politically sensitive direct bilateral deal. HP now joins nearly 40 licensees including Cisco, Netgear and Acer.
