When it comes to patent claims, it seems to be that the biggest target in the world that has been recorded is Apple. And it seems to be that this may not change in the near future. It was reported by WSJ that in the top ranking of patient fillings on an international ground. 2 out of 3 is said to be ZTE and Huawei which are Chinese companies.

Last year, the largest smartphone maker which holds the third position, Huawei, who is in the market of telecommunications‐equipment is said to be a leader, has been known to be the largest filer of applications of international patent under the Treaty of Patent Cooperation. When it comes to filing patent in various countries, this becomes easy for companies.

When it comes to mobile landscape which is harsher, the role is also being played by Patents in China where Samsung and Apple seem to navigate. The rules that are set by Beijing have to be played by foreign companies which is also something that has been insisted by regulators.

When it comes to the battles regarding patents, a stark view was recently seen about the meaning of the rules that are set in Beijing. The Beijing Intellectual Property Office gave out a patent ruling that is said to bizarre. Apple had been told by the office that within the city, the sales of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus had to be seized by the company. This was stated after a small time manufacturer of smartphone’s had made claims that the design of the iPhone had been copied from the one of the models that they had manufactured. However, there were no similarities that were visible. Before they could bust, a PR stunt had been done by Apple. Companies like Oppo and Huawei, had been referred to as headwinds as per Tim Cook due to the fact that year on year sales of the iPhone had fallen.
