Huawei's Patent to Nullify US Ban

If the Americans think that they could suppress Huawei by weighing ban on them, they are not quite right. While it did make Huawei panicked, Huawei was not afraid of the ban which was announced in May.

Due to the ban, Huawei had to develop their own imperfect OS, HongMeng, and the launch of their latest laptop product had to be delayed to no certain date.

But, will it falter Huawei’s campaign to the road of telecommunication success? Nope. Huawei could just activate their trump card: Patents.

Unknowingly, Huawei had about 56,492 active patents on critical technology, and they are not afraid to use them against any of their adversaries. On this turf, even US was left speechless.

To picture it, US has hurt Huawei with their ban, but with patents on their hands, Huawei could retaliate US with worst possibility. Not to mention the fact that Huawei is the key player in the development of 5G technology around the world.

Patent dispute is not uncommon in this industry. Ask Tesla and Edison. While Qualcomm and Huawei are ones of the best players in 5G field, they are currently disputing about the value of Huawei’s patents. Huawei and Verizon are also in a long talk concerning licensing.

Huawei’s patents exist almost in every gadget. In other words, Chinese government had been investing on Huawei which had been preparing for the war since a long time ago. That is why Huawei got hold of patents as many as they could.

At any time, Huawei’s day of reckoning for the world could come to those who stand on its way. Therefore, a patent dispute against Huawei means that it could affect technology companies worldwide to their concern. Could this be the retaliatory action the Chinese was talking about?

For your own record, 5G network could unlock several upgrades that 4G could not: remote surgery, driverless cars, faster and broader internet, and many more. Woe to us, the development lies also on the strained relationship between US and China.
