India's Ambitious 6G Goals

India aims to significantly increase its presence in the global 6G patent landscape, targeting to secure 10% of these patents within the next three years. This initiative is critical as ownership of 6G patents allows a country to influence global standards and licensing fees, positioning itself as a technological leader. The government launched the Bharat 6G Alliance to coordinate research and drive momentum in achieving this goal, envisioning a nine-year mission broken into three phases focusing on funding, trials, and standard contributions. With a current global patent distribution showing India holding a mere 1.5%, accelerating patent applications and innovations becomes essential for positioning India prominently in the landscape of next-generation technology.
