Huawei’s Vice President and Minister of Intellectual Property, Fan Zhiyong, emphasized, “Huawei adopts a balanced strategy for patent licensing. We believe that charging reasonable patent licensing fees will incentivize innovation and promote the application of innovative achievements.” He also stated that Huawei has signed nearly 200 bilateral licensing agreements and over 350 companies have obtained Huawei’s patents through patent pools.

Previously, there were reports that Huawei was charging patent technology usage fees to approximately 30 small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan.
