As of April 2021, the American technology company Qualcomm generated around 21 percent of its annual revenue from intellectual property related to 5G technology. It was the highest among other 5G patent owners in the world. Huawei's 5G IP revenue share was only 0.3 percent despite owning the most 5G patents globally. The reason is that, compared to the other companies, Huawei has a broader business field, so that telecommunication technology accounts for a smaller share of the overall revenue.
