US senator's proposal affecting Huawei 'dangerous'

United States Senator Marco Rubio's proposed legislation to prevent Huawei from suing for patent fees in US courts disrespects intellectual property ownership and severely infringes on the Chinese company's legitimate rights, analysts said.

If the bill is passed, it will set a very bad precedent that disrupts the global intellectual property system and damages the US government's self-proclaimed righteousness concerning patents, they added.

The comments came after media reported that Rubio filed legislation that would bar the Shenzhen, Guangdong province-based company from seeking legal action related to patent infringements in the US.
