” They side-step a lot of the planned obsolescence and intentional feature scarcity US companies have become so dependent on to avoid meaningful R&D. ”
They also “side-step” the capital and years of research required to come up with the products.
Why invest in R&D when you can invest in corporate espionage for a fraction of the cost?
- mNovak 7y agoNot here to debate whether IP theft happens, but to be clear Huawei does also invest billions into R&D (domestic and abroad)
- karavelov 7y agoIf they didn't invest in research, how were they first to market with 5G solutions?
- chrischen 7y agoThat's a separate issue. If Huawei violated some IP patents then why aren't they suing for that? Any meaningful R&D developments would be patented and would be publicly available and described anyways. And if your product is so weakly innovative that a picture of the circuity or some power point slides basically give away significant trade secrets, then your product probably sucks. These charges sound like they're for non-innovation based trade secrets, whatever those may be.
