Huawei Registered the Vision Pro Trademark Years Before Apple’s Release
The article explains that Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro mixed-reality headset may face trademark conflicts in China because Huawei registered the Vision Pro trademark in 2019, detailing the registration period, product categories, Huawei’s related Vision products, and possible strategies Apple could adopt to avoid infringement.
Last week Apple announced its first mixed-reality headset, Vision Pro, slated for early next‑year release in the United States.
Interestingly, Huawei had already registered the Vision Pro trademark in 2019; the trademark’s exclusive rights run from 28 November 2021 to 27 November 2031 and cover categories such as LCD TVs, head‑mounted virtual‑reality devices, and radio equipment.
Huawei’s registration was not aimed at Apple; the company had previously launched products named Vision, including Vision Glass, the Huawei Vision smart‑screen series, and even a cloud phone called Vision in 2011.
If Apple continues to use the Vision Pro name in China, it could face infringement risks. Apple might either rename the product for the domestic market (e.g., Vision Plus or Vision Ultra) or negotiate a trademark‑sharing or licensing agreement with Huawei.
