Huawei, founded in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei in Shenzhen, China, has become a global telecommunications and technology giant. Huawei has consistently registered trademarks over the years to protect its brand identity. The company's early focus was on building telecommunications infrastructure, and its first trademarks likely encompassed elements related to this core business.
The company has been involved in legal actions to protect its intellectual property rights. In 2016, Huawei filed lawsuits against Samsung in both China and the United States. The disputes revolved around allegations of patent and trademark infringement. Huawei accused Samsung of using its technology and designs without proper authorization, covering a range of patents and trademarks associated with mobile devices. In 2018, a trademark dispute arose between Huawei and CNEX Labs, a semiconductor company. Huawei alleged that CNEX Labs used its name and trademarks to mislead customers. The legal battle involved claims of unfair competition and trademark infringement.
