Legislation aimed at blocking Huawei from buying or selling U.S. patents comes as the Chinese telecom giant seeks patent-licensing fees from Verizon

Republican Senators plan to introduce legislation on Thursday aimed at blocking Huawei Technologies Co. from buying or selling U.S. patents in the latest action by Washington targeting the Chinese telecom giant.

The bill sponsored by Sens. Marco Rubio and John Cornyn seeks to enable the federal government to block companies on a U.S. government trade blacklist from buying, selling or exclusively licensing U.S. patents, according to draft text reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Wow. This bill, if passed, amounts to US government effectively stealing Chinese intellectual property, allowing domestic companies to infringe freely to give them a leg up in competition. Basically, we are doing the same thing to them that we find unacceptable from them.

AntiSoftwarePat Cancel those patents.

Great!

Good
