HP signs a multi-year global agreement with Huawei to license certain standard essential Wi-Fi patents, a sign of adoption of Huawei's technology outside China (Evelyn Cheng/CNBC)
BEIJING — U.S.-based personal computing and printing firm HP has signed a multi-year global agreement for licensing certain WiFi patents …
HP and Huawei have signed a multi-year global agreement to license certain standard essential Wi-Fi patents. The deal, according to HP, is a routine licence for technology used broadly across the industry, rather than the start of a wider commercial relationship with Huawei.
The agreement gives HP access to Huawei patents and gives Huawei access to HP patents, though neither company disclosed financial terms. According to Economic Times Tech, Huawei did not detail the scope of the patents it would receive from HP.
This cross-licensing agreement shows Huawei remains an important holder of patents used in global wireless standards, despite US restrictions. The deal follows a lawsuit filed by Huawei against HP in 2025 over Wi-fi 6 patents, which was resolved in November last year.
