Oppo and Ericsson signed a global cooperation agreement on 5G patent cross-licensing, the companies announced today. Per the multi-year deal Oppo will pay royalties to use 5G tech in its future devices, while the partners will also cooperate on device testing and marketing activities.

Feng Ying, Chief IP Officer at Oppo, said the partnership is yet another step for Oppo to establish a long-term healthy IP (intellectual property) portfolio, and the Shenzhen-based manufacturer is looking forward to resolving IP disputes through "friendly negotiation with mutual respect for the value of patents."
Ericsson, for its part, said the royalty-bearing license agreement would allow the equipment maker to "further invest in fundamental communications technologies."

The announcement comes several months after Oppo and Nokia settled their 5G patent dispute. We are currently in a period of re-signing existing partnership deals, as Nokia already extended its partnership with Samsung, Honor, and Apple for devices, using the next-gen cellular technology.
