Oppo has recently purchased a number of new patents from another brand. The company has acquired around 100 patents assets from Sharp, which are related to a number of field ranging from wireless communication to even video coding.
For those unaware, both companies had ended their global patent disputes with a cross licensing agreement back in October 2021. Now, the Chinese smartphone maker has acquired a number of patents from Sharp, which also showcases their growing cooperating between both parties in the field of patents. As of right now, Oppo has been actively filing for patents while also purchasing high quality assets as well.
According to an ITHome report, the brand has bought a family of US patents related to wireless communications. At the same time, the company has also purchased a family of 4 video coding patents (H.266). The smartphone maker has been acquiring patents from other firms since last year, so the latest transaction with Sharp is in line with its previous transactions.
Back in May 2021, Oppo had purchased at least 47 wireless communications patents from ZTE, which were related to base stations, terminals, networks and wireless communications. Similarly, it has also bought cooperation or patent transactions with the entity companies or NPEs like Ericsson, Sharp, Dolby, Inventergy, and Intellectual Ventures.
