Huawei AITO trademarks SERES

Huawei Smart Automotive Solution Business Chairman Yu Chengdong has cleared the mist on the ‘AITO trademarks transfer to SERES’ deal. The executive explained why the company sell its patents and AITO-related trademark to the car’s manufacturer.

Yu described that Huawei transferred AITO trademarks to SERES to comply with Chinese regulations. As per laws, the brand manufacturer and the owner should belong to the same company. It also requires the producer to own the particular brand.

Following these rules, Huawei decided to hand over the AITO brand as well as its patents to SERES. Not only AITO, but Huawei has also given out some more brands’ trademarks to their respective companies. Chery and BAIC are also on this list.

The executive further reveals that Huawei has spent a lot (more than 10 billion yuan) on its AITO trademark. But the company is selling it at a low price for a beneficial deal.

“Huawei sold AITO to SERES at a very low price because of requirements from national laws and regulations that auto brands need to be owned by the manufacturers.” – said Yu Chengdong.
