Huawei becomes a licensee member of the Open Invention Network
Huawei has become a licensee member of the Open Invention Network (OIN) the biggest patent non-aggression community in history. The OIN license can be signed online at http://www.j-oin.net/.
As a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices and the first major Chinese company to embrace open-source software (OSS), Huawei is reinforcing its commitment to OSS as an enabler of advanced communications systems.
In October 2019, the company also became a Strategic Member of the Eclipse Foundation, stating: “At Huawei, we prefer to have both open source software and open governance around our projects.”
“Huawei is committed to offering the highest-quality ICT and smart devices. Linux and OSS are critical elements of technologies we are developing and integrating with carriers and enterprises around the globe,” said Jianxin Ding, Head of Global Intellectual Property, at Huawei. “By joining the Open Invention Network, we are demonstrating our continued commitment to innovation, and supporting it with patent non-aggression in Linux and other core open source projects.”
“In addition to being a worldwide technology leader, Huawei is consistently a top contributor to the Linux Kernel, other key open source projects, and is a Platinum member of the Linux Foundation,” said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director at the Linux Foundation. “By joining the Open Invention Network community, Huawei is further demonstrating its strong support for defending open source and open collaboration.”
OIN CEO Keith Bergelt says, “It’s probably one of the top five companies that we have been chasing for quite some time. I think my first conversations with Huawei were nine years ago. Back then Huawei wasn’t doing that much in open source, but in the last six and a half years, Huawei has become very committed to open source and very active as a member of the board of the Linux Foundation. Among equipment suppliers, Huawei has been a model.”
Trade sanctions against Huawei and issues with Google licenses may also be a factor behind the company’s further embrace of open source.
The FutureNet World 2025 event just completed in London, bringing together over 700 industry leaders to talk about the future of network technology. The yearly gathering attracts top executives from global telecom companies, standards organizations, and technology suppliers. For the first time ever, the event created a special “Intelligent Network Best Practice Award” – and Huawei won the prize.
The company stands for its innovative work on smart, self-managing networks. Huawei’s winning technology helps telecom companies run their networks more intelligently with less human intervention. Their solution includes smart digital assistants designed for network maintenance, improving customer experience, and business operations.
These digital helpers fall into two main categories – the Mate series and the Spirit series. The technology has already been rolled out in many countries, showing impressive results across different types of networks including IP, optical, wireless, and core systems. Speaking at the event, Wang Shaosen, who leads Huawei’s smart network solutions, shared the company’s vision: “We’re committed to developing technology that makes networks smarter.
This will help telecom companies succeed with advanced 5G services and prepare for the future of 6G connectivity.
