U.S. senators introduced a bill on July 18 that would bar Chinese telecom giant Huawei from buying or selling U.S. patents, the latest action this week to target the company for potential threats to national security, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The bill, sponsored by Senators Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas), would allow the U.S. government to block companies on the Commerce Department’s “entity list” from buying, selling, or exclusively licensing U.S. patents, according to the Journal.
