Samsung and Oppo are apparently aiming on improving their 5G enabled modems. A new report has revealed that both companies are licensing key 5G technology from Huawei. So here are all the details regarding this matter.

For those unaware, Huawei is a major player in the telecommunications market apart from also being a known smartphone maker. The company was one of the pioneers of 5G technology, with its telecom equipment being used by a number of operators across the globe. However, following scrutiny sparked by the US, the Chinese tech giant was banned from telecom networks in certain regions. Furthermore, the US sanctions had even impacted its telecom operations as well. But, it appears that the company is still licensing its 5G tech expertise to other brands. A new report stated that Huawei announced a cross licensing deal with Oppo, which includes standard essential patents (SEP) for 5G networking.

According to Adler Fend, Oppo’s Chief Intellectual Property Officer We are very pleased to enter into patent cross-licensing agreement with Huawei. It clearly demonstrates that the two companies recognize and greatly respect the value of each other’s intellectual property. It is a win-win deal for both sides. We will, as always, advocate for the establishment of a sustainable, healthy intellectual property ecosystem, where intellectual property licenses can be resolved through amicable negotiations and every company’s patent value are highly respected.”

The company is also licensing key 5G technologies to Samsung as well. While there are no details regarding the purpose of this licensing, the South Korean tech giant would likely use Huawei’s 5G tech to improve its own 5G modems. Apart from this, the brand could also use 5G networking gear to be used in Samsung Network’s own telecom equipment as well.
