Other tech vendors that entered the top five rankings are the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation from Japan with 2152 applications and BOE from China with 1988 patent applications.

The report further describes that the computer tech field has the highest proportion of patents this time with 10.2%. Thereafter, the innovation of digital communication and electrical machinery appears on the list with 9.4 and 7.9% respectively.

Eventually, Huawei continues to issue new patents related to advanced technologies for communication, automobile features, wearables, folding phones, and more. Perhaps, the company would excel with more iconic grades in this listing in the time ahead.
