OPPO and Ericsson sign deal for Global 5G Patent
The deal covers global patent cross-licenses, technical cooperation, market growth, and other engagements. The global cross-license encompasses standard-essential patents (SEPs) for cellular communication technologies, including 5G.
We are pleased to announce that we have reached a global cooperation agreement with Ericsson. The global patent cross-license between two companies covers cellular standard-essential patents including 5G. This agreement reflects the mutual recognition and respect for each other’s intellectual property and lays a solid foundation for our collaboration. OPPO has always respected intellectual property, advocated for reasonable fees, and supported the establishment of a long-term healthy IP ecosystem. We aim to resolve IP disputes between licensors and licensees through friendly negotiation, with mutual respect for the value of patents, said Feng Ying, Chief Intellectual Property Officer of OPPO
Since its founding around 20 years ago, OPPO has prioritized long-term investment in research and development, deepening its expertise in vital sectors and transforming inventions into valuable intellectual property and user experience.
