The list shows that by the end of 2023, PCT international patent applications have been accepted740,000 cases, and the PCT international patent applications filed by Chinese applicants throughout the year ranked among the top in the world. Judging from the number of PCT international patent applications of the top 100 Chinese enterprises, there are 10 with more than 1,000 patents, among which among the top mobile phone manufacturers, Huawei ranks first with 7,822 patents, and OPPO ranks fourth with 1,849 patents.
OPPO ranked fourth among Chinese companies in the 2023 Global PCT International Patent Application Rankings.
According to statistics from the State Intellectual Property Office, the number of PCT international patent applications filed by Chinese applicants in 2023 ranked first in the world for four consecutive years, and China has become a veritable intellectual property power and an important pole in the world's innovation map. Behind the steady ranking of international patent applications in the world, it reflects the increasing awareness of innovation protection of Chinese enterprises, and they pay more attention to the comprehensive layout of intellectual property rights when exploring the international market.
As the world's leading technology company, OPPO has a presence in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, and continues to escort global operations. As of December 31, 2023, OPPO has more than 98,000 patent applications worldwide and more than 54,000 global grants. Among them, the number of invention patent applications exceeded 89,000, and invention patent applications accounted for 91% of all patent applications. The main areas covered by the patents include 5G, imaging, innovative forms, AI, charging, etc.
For example, in the field of AI, which has been on fire since last year, OPPO has applied its self-developed 7 billion parameter large language model to the latest flagship OPPO Find X7 series. Among them, a number of functions such as the Xiaobu AI elimination function, the Xiaobu AI call summarization function, and the new Xiaobu assistant with conversational interaction and re-upgrade based on powerful computing power have given the OPPO Find X7 series an AI experience far beyond that of competing products, and the comprehensive product strength has been further improved. It is worth noting that similar cases can also be seen in the folding flagship OPPO Find N3 series and the light flagship OPPO Reno11 series.
In addition, in January 2024, OPPO announced that it had signed a global patent cross-licensing agreement with Nokia, covering the standard essential patents of both parties in 5G and other cellular communication technologies. In the future, OPPO will firmly invest in the research and development of core technologies to bring more innovative experiences to users around the world.
