Huawei is in the midst of a crisis, and that may be an understatement. The Chinese telecommunications giant recently faced a ban on using a Google-licensed version of Android moving forward, as per the demands put forth by the US government. A report earlier this month citing Huawei's head of its consumer business group claimed that Huawei has created its own operating system for its phones and computers, just for this eventuality - if it loses access to Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows operating systems. Now, it appears we may know the name of the OS if trademarks filed by the company are any indication.

CNBC cited Huawei's Richard Yu earlier this month to confirmed Huawei had created its own operating system.

Now, as Android alternative, so there's no guarantee on that. But the timing of filing these trademarks do point out that Huawei is accelerating on this matter and we might soon see the new OS in action.

So, developing a new operating system is nothing new for Huawei. Going by our report from last year, the Chinese smartphone maker started working on its own operating system for its smartphones, tablets and computers after the US took the company as a national threat to their country because of Huawei's attempts to extract sensitive information from American companies and their loyalties to the Chinese government.

The ban has hit Huawei hard and has forced the company to work on its backup plan. Without Android, the phone maker will not be able to sell smartphones running ARM to name a few have also suspended business with Huawei.
