      “In May 2019, then-United States President Donald Trump announced that HUAWEI and several other Chinese companies were now on the “Entity List.” Companies on this list cannot do business with any organization that operates in the United States.”

      Oh good golly it’s going to be a wonderful day today!

      Edit: as ahornsirup pointed out, this isn’t really relevant. I got crossed up searching HTC with Huawei somewhere along the line.

          Well, HTC is Taiwanese so there really isn’t much of a story there.

            Facepalm

            Wow, my google-fu failed me pretty spectacularly. I was searching the HTC ban for patent infringement from Apple and at some point crossed with Huawei.

            Though having said that, hey Apple, does that camera protrusion look familiar? Ask your lawyers!

        All the recent Nokia’s were theirs, so probably more recent than you think. But yeh, nothing since then I think?

        Or am I getting my 3 letter company names mixed up?

        Looks like HTC worked with Google on the first Pixel then sold them about half of the R&D talent and non-exclusive rights on the technology. So yes and no.
