OnePlus Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.

OnePlus Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., commonly known as OnePlus, is a Chinese consumer electronics company founded in December 2013. Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, OnePlus is a subsidiary of the electronics manufacturer Oppo. The private company is reported to have over 2,700 employees.

OnePlus designs and manufactures a range of consumer electronics. Its primary products are smartphones, which include its flagship numbered series (e.g., OnePlus 13) and the mid-range "Nord" line of phones. The company's product ecosystem has expanded to include tablets (OnePlus Pad), wireless earbuds (OnePlus Buds), smartwatches (OnePlus Watch), and televisions. OnePlus devices run on the Android-based OxygenOS operating system, which shares a codebase with Oppo's ColorOS.

Based on its litigation history, OnePlus is an operating company that defends against patent infringement claims. The company has been tracked as a defendant in one patent case and has not been a plaintiff. This pattern is typical of a technology manufacturer being targeted by patent assertion entities rather than initiating its own patent litigation. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, a common venue for patent cases.

The company's only tracked case is Onesta IP, LLC v. Qualcomm Incorporated et al., filed in April 2025. In this suit, OnePlus is a co-defendant alongside semiconductor supplier Qualcomm and fellow device maker Nothing Technology. The plaintiff, Onesta IP, is a non-practicing entity (NPE) asserting a portfolio of patents acquired from Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD). The lawsuit targets OnePlus smartphones that incorporate allegedly infringing Qualcomm Snapdragon processors.
