HP partners with U.S.-blacklisted Huawei for licensing the Chinese company's WiFi tech
BEIJING — U.S.-based personal computing and printing firm HP has signed a multi-year global agreement for licensing certain WiFi patents from Chinese telecoms giant Huawei, the companies announced Wednesday.
It's a sign of adoption of Huawei's technology outside China, despite the U.S. blacklisting the company in 2019, a move that restricted it from working with American suppliers such as Google.
"This is a standard-essential patent license covering Wi‑Fi technology - something used broadly across the industry and routine for companies whose products connect to Wi‑Fi. It is not new, does not represent a broader strategic or commercial relationship, partnership, or collaboration with Huawei," HP said.
