The One Behind It All Chapter 49

First, we must strengthen awareness of intellectual property protection. In this regard, Huawei has done very well. Huawei, which has been targeting the international market since 1996, was relatively early in the protection of intellectual property rights. It established a dedicated intellectual property department and established a corresponding intellectual property management system a long time ago.

Secondly, we must strengthen partnership building. When talking about the experience of this lawsuit, relevant personnel from Huawei fully affirmed the role of partners: "Simply put, to litigate with Americans, you have to send Americans, and they must be in the United States; you are in To litigate in Texas, you must be a Texas lawyer to litigate in Texas. Just like Beijing lawyers cannot go to Shenzhen to litigate, you must be prepared in advance and have some partners. "

Once again, be willing to spend money to hire the best lawyer. In the case of Cisco v. Huawei, Huawei's principle was to hire the best law firms in the United States to handle the lawsuit. In other words, it was to "use the American way to win the lawsuit locally in the United States." According to relevant media reports, the famous lawyer it hired offered a price as high as US$630 per hour, but the final result proved that Huawei's money was not in vain.

In the end, you must prove yourself with your strength. It is understood that industry insiders attribute the result of this settlement to Huawei's ability to rationally use its strength to prove itself. According to reports, Huawei spends 1 billion yuan every year on research and development. When summarizing the Cisco-Huawei case, Mr. Ni Guangnan pointed out: "In the information field, core technology and a large amount of intellectual property are very important. The reason why Huawei's intellectual property technology can stand is because it has developed the entire software system itself. So we can win the final victory in this industry without being oppressed by others. "

After a fierce battle, although Cisco gained the upper hand and maintained its majesty as the overlord, Huawei caused a huge shock wave to it this time. Although the lawsuit is over, the smoke in the market will never go out. The lawsuit is just the signal and prelude to the competition between the two companies.
