_Looks like Huawei is [going to fight back against the U.S](https://www.forbes.com/sites/roslynlayton/2020/07/14/frozen-out-of-network-infrastructure-markets-huawei-hijacks-us-patent-regime/#a22213f3ff61). for the sanctions it has [imposed](https://news.slashdot.org/story/20/07/10/1823220/us-finalizing-federal-contract-ban-for-companies-that-use-huawei-others) on the company… using the U.S. patent system, which recently made some changes to [FRAND](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing) agreements (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) to make it even easier to sue. They’re starting with Verizon and its suppliers, HP and Cisco._

 

_“It has filed patent infringement claims against Verizon for its own technology and for products Verizon has acquired from Cisco and Hewlett-Packard and demanded royalty payments for hundreds of patents,” reports Forbes. “Huawei’s patents may not even be practiced in the firms’ accused products, but Huawei is using the legal process to compel court discovery on Verizon’s and its suppliers’ confidential information to enrich Huawei’s knowledge of competitors’ products and technology.” […] The report adds: “It is likely that the Trump Administration simply had not considered how Huawei would turn U.S. patent law against U.S. companies, since the President and his team have consistently led the charge to rid Chinese-controlled companies from the communications infrastructure in the U.S. and abroad, especially in 5G.” Didn’t see that coming?_
