Huawei's new Honor 20 smartphone is seen at a product launch event in London, Britain
HuaweiTechnologies announced royalty rates for the use of its 5G phone technology for the first time, in a move its chief legal officer said was an effort to increase transparency at an event on Tuesday.
The company was put on an export blacklist by former USPresident Donald Trump in 2019 and barred from accessing critical technology of USorigin, affecting its ability to design its own chips and source components from outside vendors.
But,Huaweiis looking to showcase its own research achievements, with the company expecting to receive around $1.3 billion in revenue from patent licensing between 2019 and 2021, according to its head of IP, Jason Ding.
For every phone that usesHuawei's 5G technology, which are capable of working the company will receive up to $2.5 in royalties, Ding said.
Along with rivals Samsung Electronics, Nokia, Ericsson, and chipmaker Qualcomm,Huaweiis one of the leaders in 5G patents, although studies about which company is ahead in the race vary.
Huaweiachieved positive growth for both 2020 revenue and net profit, the company's founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei had said in February, adding that the company continued to see significant levels of confidence from its customers.
