"When I heard this news, my heart was bleeding. Huawei is really too much! I just want to ask Huawei executives, why didn't you sue them earlier?" This is a popular comment below about Huawei's infringement articles about Huawei's infringement of Amazon , OPPO, Xiaomi . There are many similar comments. Regarding Huawei's infringement of patents infringement, most netizens are on Huawei's side.
Although Huawei sued three companies for infringement, for some reason, most netizens' criticisms mainly focused on two domestic companies, especially Xiaomi. As for which patents Xiaomi infringed on Huawei, it has not been disclosed yet.
Some time ago, netizens had a heated discussion on the ownership of water drop hinges for folding screen mobile phones. At the press conference of Huawei P50 Pocket folding screen mobile phones, Yu Chengdong said: Water drop hinges are Huawei's exclusive patent. If you see that there is no gap on the folding screen of any company, it must be using Huawei's patent.
. At the press conference of Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, Lei Jun said with high profile that the folding screen phone uses the "Xiaomi self-developed micro-water droplet form rotation axis". Such a naming is easy to remind people of Huawei's water droplet hinges. In fact, after the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 was closed, there was no gap between the screen, which shows that at least one person was lying between Yu Chengdong and Lei Jun.
From the time dimension, Huawei comes first and Xiaomi comes later. Judging from the number of patents related to folding screens, Huawei is at least twice that of Xiaomi. In Huawei's related patents, the keyword "water drop" can be clearly seen, while in Xiaomi's related patents, the word "water drop" is not seen. (Data source: Qidao Patent Database)
Let's see how Xiaomi defines "Xiaomi's self-developed micro-water drop shape rotation axis". In the product details page, Xiaomi uses a particularly small line of words to define "Xiaomi's self-developed micro-water drop shape rotation axis": specifically, the left and right folding shape mobile phone rotation axis has a smaller diameter. As for whether Xiaomi has plagiarized Huawei's water drop hinge, let's leave it to the person in front of the screen to judge.
According to the author, before the release of Huawei Hongmeng System , no mobile phone manufacturer had released products that support multi-device collaboration. However, after the release of Hongmeng System, the MIUI version of the super terminal was launched, and Xiaomi also gave it a nice name: Xiaomi Miaoxiang Center. Whether it is the UI interface or the drag and drop operation method, this function is similar to the super terminal function of Huawei's Hongmeng system. As for whether Xiaomi has plagiarized Huawei, there is no evidence yet, but the author believes that when Xiaomi develops this function, Huawei's super terminal must have brought a lot of inspiration to Xiaomi.
Back to Huawei’s lawsuit against Amazon, OPPO, and Xiaomi, Huawei has always been tolerant of infringement by domestic companies. Yu Chengdong even publicly complained at a meeting that some Chinese companies not only plagiarize Huawei's designs, but also do not pay patent fees, and even publicize their own.
Huawei’s lawsuit against Amazon, OPPO, and Xiaomi is also an oath of its own patent sovereignty. No matter whether you are a domestic or a foreign company, as long as there is infringement, you cannot escape legal sanctions! We cannot be kind to companies that "pick up the bowl and eat meat, put down the chopsticks and curse my mother"!
