Chinese tech giant Huawei has taken a leading role by owning 15 percent of SEPs, according to the report "Who Is Leading the 5G Patent Race?"

SG SEPs are patents that any company will have to use when carrying out 5G and no one can avoid them.

The automotive sector will most likely be one of the first industries to depend on 5G, which will connect vehicles to other vehicles, roadsides, traffic lights buildings and the Internet according to the report.

"It is 5G that is going to be a huge jump forward for communication systems because only with 5G's higher bandwidth can a number of applications be more advanced and used by most consumers," said Nicole Peng, senior director of the market research company Canalys.

As 5G technology has combined various industries and technologies, the number of 5G SEPs rose to more than 60,000 globally by the end of April 2019, the report said.
