Huawei faces accusations of theft and counterfeiting

Houari faces accusations of theft and counterfeiting from America. The tense situation between Huawei and the United States has not increased, and the ongoing trade war between America and China has not increased. The case of theft filed in America against the Chinese company is still being discussed in the US Department of Justice.

In its latest developments, the Chinese telecom giant's phone company denied, on Tuesday, that it had stolen any patents in the United States, in response to accusations made by a Portuguese innovator and reported by the Wall Street Journal.

American engineer: Huawei stole my design

The US Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the accusations of engineer Roy Pedro Oliveira, who says that the Chinese company has stolen his design for a smartphone camera that obtained US patents to make the "Envision 360" panoramic camera that the company equipped its phones with.

According to the newspaper, the Justice Department's investigation includes Oliveira's accusations in other cases that may involve intellectual property theft and the inclusion of employees from competing companies.

in oppositeThe Chinese group announced in a statement that "these accusations are false," stressing that "we categorically reject the allegations" of Oliveira.

"The US government has been seeking for several months to pressure other countries to ban Huawei equipment," the statement read. They are using all the tools at their disposal to disrupt our business operations.”

"None of the accusations leveled by the US government have yet been proven," he added. We strongly condemn the coordinated efforts of the US government to discredit Huawei and undermine its leadership position in the telecommunications industry.”

In addition, Huawei acknowledged that it met Oliveira in 2014, but confirmed that the camera it marketed in 2017 was "independently drawn and developed by employees who were not familiar" with the information released by the Portuguese designer.

Huawei also accused Oliveira of trying to blackmail the group since April 2018 by threatening it to go to the media if it didn't pay him a "heavy sum".

"It is clear that Oliveira is trying to take advantage of the current geopolitical situation," she said, adding that there is no "reasonable justification" to justify the criminal investigation opened by the US Department of Justice.

It is reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump accuses Huawei of spying for Beijing, which the group denies.

Washington banned American companies from selling components and services, with the implementation of this decision suspended for the first time for ninety days and then again in mid-August for the same period.

The United States has also repeatedly accused Huawei and other Chinese groups of stealing patents, especially US patents, to speed up its technological development, without providing evidence of this.

Huawei is the second largest smartphone vendor in the world, and it is a world leader in equipment for the fifth generation of Internet technology (5G), but Washington is seeking to discourage its allies from deploying this technology.

The Huawei case falls in the context of the raging trade war between the United States and China.
