China’s Huawei, US PC Maker HP Sign Multi-Year Wi-Fi Patent Deal
The agreement gives each company access to standard-essential Wi-Fi patents and includes Wi-Fi 7, while financial terms were not disclosed.
- On Wednesday, Huawei Technologies and HP Inc. announced a multi-year global cross-licensing agreement for Wi-Fi technology patents, granting both companies reciprocal access to wireless intellectual property including Wi-Fi 7.
- The agreement follows a 2025 legal dispute where Huawei sued HP at Europe's Unified Patent Court over Wi-Fi 6 patent usage, resolved after HP joined the Sisvel Wi-Fi patent pool in November 2025.
- HP, the world's second-largest PC maker, holds a 21.3% market share, while Huawei reported more than 1.6 billion consumer electronic devices, excluding mobile phones, used its Wi-Fi-related inventions by the end of 2025.
- HP characterized the deal as a "standard-essential patent licence covering Wi-Fi technology" and not a broader commercial partnership, while Alan Fan, Huawei's chief intellectual property officer, called it a "strong testament to Huawei's persistent independent innovation."
- Since 2019, Washington has maintained a trade blacklist affecting Huawei; these restrictions limit access to advanced semiconductors and software but do not prevent patent-licensing agreements.
