In the context of escalating tensions between the US and China, Chinese corporations, including Huawei and Tencent, have notably expanded their global patent portfolios within the cybersecurity technology domain.
A report reveals that Chinese companies secured six out of the top 10 positions in terms of global cybersecurity patent holdings as of August. This data, compiled in cooperation with LexisNexis, encompassed patents registered across 95 countries and regions. These developments mirror China’s strategic drive to attain self-sufficiency in technology and reduce reliance on foreign innovations, particularly in light of US restrictions and export controls.
