There is no doubt that Xiaomi brand has been registered in many countries, otherwise it will not be sold in India. However, as a brand, trademark registration focuses on the marketing level. At present, most people are discussing/questioning the technical level, that is, patents. In fact, Xiaomi also has a patent layout, only to blame for entering the industry too late, even if there are patents, it is difficult to have high quality.
Beijing Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. (change: Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd.) was established in April 20 10, and the first patent application was submitted in February 0 10 of the same year, entitled "A method of adding contact information".
According to the published information, Xiaomi Technology has submitted more than 1000 patent applications in four years, involving China, the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries. When Xiaomi Technology applies for foreign patents, it generally passes the PCT. In the application example shown below, the patent of the same family was published abroad for nearly three years (from March 20 1 1 year to early 20 14).
Patent is an important index to measure the innovation ability of a technology-based company, but it is not to win by quantity. In fact, the basic patents of mobile phones are still in the hands of several established communication companies. As a latecomer, it is very difficult for Xiaomi to get deus ex on mobile phone patents, so it is inevitable to pay various licensing fees.
