Huawei reached global patent licensing deal with Xiaomi

According to the latest information, the Chinese tech giant Huawei has reportedly confirmed the global patent cross-licensing deal with Xiaomi Inc 1810.HK.

The deal covers communication technologies including 5G, it said, and marks the resolution of a patent licensing dispute between the two firms. Local Chinese media reported in March that Huawei was suing Xiaomi for alleged infringement of four registered patents mainly related to wireless communication technology, smartphone photography and screen lock technology.

Huawei also has patent license agreements with other tech players such as Oppo and South Korea’s Samsung 005930.KS.
