Chinese companies lead in global 5G patent
applications(专利应用) with Huawei taking the crown,
according to a report by IPlytics, an authorized patent data company. Three

5G SEPs applications in communication systems by the end of April 2019,
accounting for 34 percent of the world's total. Chinese tech giant Huawei has
taken a leading role by owning 15 percent of SEPs, according to the report Who
Is Leading the 5G Patent Race?
5G SEP are patents that any company will
have to use when carrying out 5G technology and no one can avoid them.
Different from 3G and 4G technologies, 5G
technology will influence various industries and encourage the appearance of
many new products, services and industries.
The automotive sector will most likely be
one of the first industries to depend on 5G, which will connect vehicles to
other vehicles, roadsides, traffic lights, buildings and the Internet,
according to the report.
"It is 5G that is going to be a huge
jump forward for communication systems because only with 5G's higher bandwidth
can a number of applications be more advanced (尖端的)
and used by most consumers," said Nicole Peng, senior director of the
market research company Canalys.
As 5G technology has combined various
industries and technologies, the number of 5G SEPs rose to more than 60,000
globally by the end of April 2019, the report said.
