OPPO Grants License to a Major Chinese Automaker
OPPO, a leading global smart device manufacturer, announced the signing of a global patent license agreement with a major Chinese automaker. The agreement grants the automaker a license to OPPO’s cellular Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). This collaboration will allow the automaker to integrate OPPO’s patented cellular technologies into its connected vehicle products, enhancing connectivity and user experience while supporting its strategic expansion into international markets.
“We are pleased to reach this patent licensing partnership,” said Vincent Lin, Head of Patent Licensing at OPPO. “Following our agreement with Volkswagen Group, this marks our second bilateral licensing agreement with a global automaker. The continued interest from leading car manufacturers highlights the automotive industry’s recognition of OPPO’s leadership in cellular innovation and reflects OPPO’s commitment to building a long-term, healthy, and sustainable intellectual property ecosystem.”
This agreement represents OPPO’s second publicly announced patent license with an automaker, building on its bilateral license with the Volkswagen Group. OPPO’s 5G SEPs are currently distributed across more than 40 countries and regions worldwide, and according to LexisNexis® IPlytics, a leading patent analytics platform, OPPO ranked eighth globally in overall 5G patent strength as of January 2025.
Beyond cellular innovations, OPPO’s proprietary VOOC flash charging technology has been adopted by over 60 automakers and has been installed in more than 10 million vehicles to date. This underscores OPPO’s expanding influence in the fields of 5G and smart mobility, underpinned by its dedication to cross-industry innovation.
As of September 2025, OPPO has filed over 117,000 patent applications and holds more than 65,000 granted patents globally. OPPO continues to invest in core technology areas including 5G/6G, artificial intelligence, charging, imaging, and video, reinforcing its position as a global leader in innovation and high-value intellectual property. Looking ahead, OPPO will continue to collaborate openly with industry partners to drive innovation across connected devices and mobility ecosystems.
