Huawei Patent:

Back in 2019, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei told the media that Huawei will not weaponize its patent prowess and will support other firms with free IPs. However, if we ask for a fee it will be the lowest, so everyone could participate in the patent purchase rather than infringe them.

This makes sense, as every company has the right to protect its inventions and not let anyone just walk away by just copying and pasting some of those.

In a past report, President Ren Zhengfei. It mentioned that in the past, Huawei’s intellectual property was for self-defense. Now that Huawei has a certain right to speak, it is necessary to build a reasonable price benchmark. Patent fees cannot be charged for the sake of charging, nor can they be too low. It will curb innovation in society as a whole.

In 2021 alone, Huawei held over 45000 valid patents and more than 90 percent of those include new innovative ideas. Additionally, Huawei holds the number one rank as the patent filer in China.

There’s a lot more to unfold in the trial of Huawei over Amazon and we’ll keep you posted with further details.
