Normally, news like that of the agreement of use of patents between Huawei and OPPO would go quietly, but the situation is not exactly definable “normal”. In fact, these are two companies that, for one reason or another, have difficulty interfacing with the Western market. On the one hand we have Huawei, which due to the US ban finds itself ostracized from the international market and greatly downsized compared to its predecessor as a leader in the technological world; on the other OPPO, which has partially filled the void of Huawei in the West but which in Europe has found a wall called Nokia, with a patent dispute that led to its ban in Germany.
OPPO and Huawei will be able to use their respective patents and technologies: “merit” of the ban
You may have guessed that the global cross-licensing agreement between Huawei and OPPO takes on a whole new meaning for both parties involved. The agreement provides that the two Chinese companies can use their respective portfolios of patents that include technologies 5G, Wifi And audio/video codecs, essential for the manufacture of smartphones and other technological products. And considering that Huawei is one of the largest companies in the world in this sense, with tens of thousands of patents filed worldwide, this represents a great advantage for OPPO, which could thus perhaps circumvent the impasse represented by Nokia royalties.
At the same time, it is also true that this partnership is an advantage not to be taken lightly for Huawei, which despite being the one with the most patents, is in the position of not being able to fully exploit them as it is. cut many markets. OPPO thus becomes an intermediary between Huawei technologies and the rest of the world, being able to capitalize on OPPO’s sales where it cannot.
