Huawei has been battling the US government for more than a year. National security experts worry that "back doors" in routers, switches and other Huawei equipment could allow China to spy on US communications. Huawei has denied that it would help China spy.
Companies involved, including Verizon have notified the US government and the dispute comes amid a growing feud between China and the United States. The licensing fee demand may be more about the geopolitical battle between China and the United States rather than a demand for patent fees.
Verizon spokesman Rich Young declined to comment "regarding this specific issue because it's a potential legal matter."
However, Young said, "These issues are larger than just Verizon. Given the broader geopolitical context, any issue involving Huawei has implications for our entire industry and also raise national and international concerns."
Huawei and US wireless carriers T-Mobile US Inc and AT&T Inc did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Sprint Corp declined to comment.
The United States last month put Huawei on a blacklist that barred it from doing business with US companies on security grounds without government approval, prompting some global tech firms to cut ties with the world's largest telecoms equipment maker.
Washington is also seeking the extradition of Huawei Chief Financial Executive Meng Wanzhou from Canada after her arrest in Vancouver last December on a US warrant.
China has since upped the pressure on Canada, halting Canadian canola imports and in May suspended the permits of two major pork producers.
