Remarkably similar technology has been available for years (first observed
personally in the early 50's) so I doubt IPR claims will survive prior art.

That said I expect there will be questions on energy efficacy, potential
impact on health (one of the reasons it did not go far in the 50's) and the
big one (if you think theft of service with WiFi is a problem ...) power
theft.
