First Hongmeng and Ark/Oak, now HUAWEI trademarks another OS name
June 22, 2025
HUAWEI has been working on itsplan B operating systemfor years now, with the U.S. trade ban against the company forcing it to accelerate plans. We’ve heard about several names for the platform before, but it sounds like HUAWEI has yet another name up its sleeve.
Let’sGoDigitaluncovered a trademark application for “Harmony” via the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The application notes that the trademark is related to “mobile operating systems; computer operating systems; downloadable operating system programs.”
The outlet reports that the application was filed by a firm called Forresters, and that this company also filed HUAWEI’s Hongmeng OS andP Smart Ztrademarks. The former filing is another name for the brand’s new operating system.
In any event, the White House decision toreduce the scopeof thetrade banmeans HUAWEI might not have to launch the homegrown platform in the West. U.S. officials haveconfirmedthat the trade ban will only be in effect for products and services that affect national security. This suggests that the Chinese brand has restored access to Android and Google’s suite of services.
News of the Harmony trademark application also comes as HUAWEI gears up to reveal itsEMUI 10update in China on August 9. The latest version of its Android skin is set to offerAndroid Q, but we’ll have to wait until next month to see what else HUAWEI is bringing to the table.
