Alcatel (formerly Alcatel Mobile Phones and Alcatel OneTouch, previously stylized as ALCATEL in its logo) was a French brand of mobile handsets owned by Finnish consumer electronics company Nokia and used under license[1] by Chinese electronics company TCL Technology. The Alcatel brand was licensed in 2005 by former French electronics and telecommunications company Alcatel-Lucent to TCL for mobile phones and devices, and the current license expires at the end of 2024. Nokia acquired the assets of Alcatel-Lucent in 2016 and thus also inherited the licensing agreements for the Alcatel brand.[2]

History

Former Alcatel One Touch logo

Alcatel Mobile Phones was established on 24 April 2004[3] as a joint venture between Alcatel-Lucent (45%) and TCL Corporation (55%).[4] Alcatel originally started making mobile phones in late 1996.[citation needed]

In 2005, the joint venture was dissolved as TCL acquired Alcatel-Lucent's 45 percent share, and Alcatel Mobile Phones became a wholly owned subsidiary group of TCL. The brand name was licensed to TCL.[5]

In 2010, Alcatel One Touch became the corporate brand. In February 2016 after Alcatel One Touch being bought by Nokia, it was changed back to simply Alcatel and a new logo was introduced.[6]

Company structure

TCL Mobile Limited (former name: T&A Mobile Phones Limited) is a member of TCL Communication listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE: 2618) which was established in August 2004 by TCL Communication and Alcatel.[7] TCL Mobile Limited manages three business units: Alcatel, TCL Mobile Phones and Brand Design Lab. TCL Communication was also the developer of BlackBerry devices from 2016 to 2020 when its contract with BlackBerry expired.[8][9][10]
