Dubai – Masaader News
Futurewei Technologies Inc, which is Huawei’s US based research company, has moved to separate its operations from its corporate parent since the US government in May put Huawei on a trade blacklist, according to Reuters.
Futurewei has banned Huawei employees from its offices, moved Futurewei employees to a new IT system and forbidden them from using the Huawei name or logo in communications, a Futurewei employee told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Huawei will continue to own Futurewei, the employee said.
Futurewei is Huawei’s US based research and development arm. The firm employs hundreds of people at offices in Silicon Valley and the greater Seattle, Chicago and Dallas areas.
Futurewei has filed more than 2,100 patents in such areas as telecommunications, 5G cellular networks, and video and camera technologies, according to data from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
