[Oppo](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Oppo) has been on a shopping spree lately, the Chinese company has purchased a couple of new patents from another brand, the brand being [Sharp](https://technosports.co.in/?s=Sharp). Oppo has acquired nearly 100 patents which are all related to a number of fields varying from wireless communication to video coding.

## Oppo and Sharp were involved in a global patent dispute:

The two companies were in a heated legal battle over patent disputes. They finally ended the dispute by entering into a cross-licensing agreement back in October 2021. Oppo has now acquired a slew of patents from Sharp, which also shows off the growing cooperation between both parties in the field of patents.
