Global 5G Patent Ranking: Huawei First and Xiaomi Enters Top Ten

The China Academy of Information and Communication Technology has released the Global 5G Standard Essential Patents and Standard Proposal Research Report (2023), which points out that a total of five Chinese brands have been selected on the TOP10 list this year, adding one more than last year and currently occupying half of the country. Among them, Huawei’s 5G standard essential patents rank first globally, and Xiaomi has squeezed into the tenth place for the first time with high growth rate.
As of December 31, 2022, this report conducted a statistical analysis of all 5G declared patents and their extended family patents in the ETSI patent database. Among the industry entities that ETSI has declared 5G standard essential patents, the top ten enterprises have more than 75% of the total effective global patent families, which basically reflects the main trend of global 5G standard essential patent activities.

From the perspective of the proportion of effective global patent families, Huawei’s proportion of effective global patent families is 14.59%, ranking first; Qualcomm ranks second, accounting for 10.04%; Samsung ranks third with a proportion of 8.80%. The companies ranked fourth to tenth are ZTE, LG, Nokia, Ericsson, Datang, OPPO, and Xiaomi.
For the first time, Xiaomi has ranked among the top ten essential patents for the global 5G standard. From the perspective of the speed of ranking climb, authoritative data from multiple sources shows that as of the end of 2020, the number of Xiaomi 5G standard patent declarations has entered the top 15 globally, entered the top 13 by the end of 2021, and entered the top 10 by the end of 2022.
More data shows that China has achieved a leading advantage in global 5G development. According to the information disclosed by the Intellectual Property Development Research Center of the China National Intellectual Property Administration last year, as of June 2022, there are more than 210000 5G standard essential patents declared globally, involving 47000 patent families, of which 18000 are declared from China, accounting for 40% of the world’s total, ranking first.
