2 cases as defendant.
Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd. (华为投资控股有限公司; commonly "Huawei") is the Shenzhen-based holding company of the Huawei group, registered in China on 14 March 2003 with its head office at Huawei Base, Longgang District, Shenzhen. The operating business dates to 1987, when Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei. It is privately held, with no public listing or ticker; Huawei states the company is wholly owned by roughly 169,000 current employees and retired beneficiaries, with founder Ren Zhengfei holding approximately 0.59% of share capital. Huawei's corporate fact sheet lists about 213,000 employees worldwide. FY2025 results (released March 2026) reported revenue of CNY 880.9 billion (~US$126 billion), net profit of CNY 68.0 billion, and R&D spending of CNY 192.3 billion (21.8% of revenue), with roughly 165,000 granted patents globally.
Huawei is a technology and equipment conglomerate. Reported segments are: ICT infrastructure (carrier network equipment, 5G, computing/AI infrastructure), consumer devices (smartphones, tablets, notebooks, wearables, smart-home products, HarmonyOS ecosystem, and its smart-vehicle brands), digital power, cloud computing, and intelligent automotive solutions (driver-assistance and in-vehicle systems). China accounted for about 70% of 2025 revenue.
Patent-litigation posture: operating company, not an NPE. The tracked data show 0 cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant, consistent with a large manufacturer defending against assertion. The single tracked matter is Innovative Display Technologies LLC v. Huawei Investment and Holding Co., Ltd. et al., No. 2:13-cv-00525 (E.D. Tex., Marshall Division, filed 28 June 2013) — a plaintiff-friendly venue. Innovative Display Technologies is a patent-assertion entity; in PTAB filings it identified Acacia Research Group LLC and Acacia Research Corporation as real parties-in-interest. It asserted seven acquired "Light Emitting Panel Assemblies" patents originating with Lumitex and transferred through Rambus to Acacia, targeting displays in phones, notebooks, tablets and printers.
That filing was one of six filed the same day against Acer, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, BlackBerry and ZTE. Huawei's appearance in this database is limited to that 2013 case; no other tracked U.S. patent suits for this entity were found.
IDT action against Huawei Investment & Holding Co. et al. in the 2013 E.D. Tex. Marshall campaign asserting the '547 patent. Outcome not verified.
FISI asserted the '655 patent among others against Huawei. The action was consolidated with the LG action and stayed pending settlement; Huawei filed IPR2018-00479 against the '655.
