Quote:Huawei has recently registered a trademark for its upcoming operating system supposed to replace Android and Windows on its own devices.
Called Hongmeng, the operating system showed up in the documents of the Trademark Office of China’s National Intellectual Property Administration earlier this month, confirming that Huawei is working at full speed on getting it ready for launch.
As per CGTN, the application was submitted on August 24, 2018, and the Hongmeng trademark is valid between May 14, 2019, and May 13, 2029.
Huawei trying to register the Hongmeng trademark in the summer of 2018 shows that the company indeed expected a potential ban that would restrict the use of Android and Windows. Huawei officials said on several occasions they were working on an in-house operating system to replace Windows and Android, but the company only accelerated the development of this project once the United States government set new restrictions over its licensing deals with American companies.
