Recently, China National Intellectual Property Administration announced the winners of the 21st WIPO-CNIPA Award, a national-level award of high prestige. Winning this award not only brings a reward of about 2 million yuan but also enhances the company’s influence in the field of intellectual property and, more importantly, boosts the brand influence. This edition selected 30 shortlisted projects for China Patent Gold Awards, 10 shortlisted projects for China Design Gold Awards, 60 shortlisted projects for China Patent Silver Awards, etc. Among them, the OPPO Find X smartphone (Chinese Patent No.: ZL201830465140.5) won the China Design Gold Award, making it the only mobile phone patent technology selected for the 21st China Patent Award.

OPPO’s effort is not limited to design. This year, it has invested tens of billions in scientific research, concentrating on five major technological areas including 5G, AI, imaging, fast-charging, and new materials and forms. In an era where 5G will enable seamless integration and prioritize user experience, smartphones remain the most important entry point. 5G is a trend that OPPO is bound to seize.

OPPO has been continuously filing 5G communication standard patents in over 20 countries and regions worldwide. As of the end of September 2019, OPPO had filed more than 2,500 patent families globally and declared over 1,000 families of 5G standard patents at ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). OPPO has submitted over 3,000 standard-related contributions to 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project), ranking among the top contributors.

The technology in the 5G era is not limited to 5G itself. Some peripheral technologies are also of great importance. For example, given the potential high power consumption brought by 5G, flash-charging technology has become a sought-after area for various manufacturers. In this field, OPPO is undoubtedly at the forefront of the industry. Its SuperVOOC 2.0 and VOOC 4.0 flash-charging technologies ensure the battery life of mobile phones in the 5G era. SuperVOOC 2.0 has the industry’s highest charging power of 65W, which has been applied to the OPPO Reno Ace smartphone. The slogan has evolved from “5-minute charge, 2-hour talk” to “5-minute charge, 2-hour gaming.

Technological reserves have a far-reaching impact and are the real guarantee for a company’s rapid development. Over years of growth, OPPO has consistently attached great importance to accumulating product patents and increasing investment and exploration in technological innovation. As a brand favored by over 200 million young people globally, what attracts users to OPPO is not only its first-class design and excellent photography capabilities but also closely related to its powerful research and development strength.

In the entire application process for the patent award, Zhifan IP Group thoroughly understood the design concept and cutting-edge technologies of OPPO’s new-generation FIND X products. We provided full support and coordination for OPPO throughout the application process and ultimately assisted OPPO in winning this prestigious and significant award.
