Disrupting Huawei's access to US patent courts would threaten the intellectual property system that supports technology development, said Song Liping, the company's chief legal officer.The proposal by Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida, followed reports that Huawei Technologies Ltd is asking for $1 billion from American phone carrier Verizon for use of the Chinese company's patents.
Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei, said this month it has cut its project sales by $30 billion over the next two years due to curbs on access to American chips and other components. He said smartphone sales outside China will fall 40 percent.
