Wifi definition:
wireless local area network: a local area network that
uses high frequency radio signals to transmit and receive data
The first
issue with that problem: Radio is quite well known and technology to build radio
signals should fail patentability in most cases. I say most cases, but it's
conceivable radio technology is so mature any "new" build should fail
patentability period unless someone's managed to figure out how to get subspace
communications going (if that's "radio" waves).
Additionally, wide/local
area networks are computer technology which is easily older then 20 years. So
any patents on that technology should be well expired.
Telecommunications
via radio is decades old technology as well. So patents on that technology
should be expired.
To apply the concepts: radio communications + computer
network should be considered as obvious. So no patent should apply.
The
next issue with that problem: the rest of wifi is in language interpretation -
software. And software should be recognized as abstract only and not patentable
subject matter.
As a result, if you accept I have shown why wifi should
not be patentable subject matter then you must logically accept that wifi is
mature even at the point of "creation" because all the technology involved is
well known and mature.
So an immediate standard on it should - by its
very definition and nature - be new, useful and free of patents.
