More information:

Information reveals that Anna Yao was born in Kunming, Yunnan on January 14, 1998. She is the youngest daughter of Huawei’s main founder Ren Zhengfei. She graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering and statistics and formerly known as Yao Siwei. Afterwards, she was named Annabel Yao, when he studied abroad.

Huawei’s registration of these trademarks is likely to be related to the frequent malicious registration of public figures’ trademarks by unrelated companies. Especially for well-known public figures, trademarks are related to the ownership of their commercial assets. Ren Zhengfei has always been very concerned about his daughter’s career prospects. He also personally went to the “Tianhao Shengshi Entertainment” signed by Yao Anna to learn more about his performance plans, and he would naturally consider the issue of the protection of the property rights of the daughter.
