Qualcomm used this move to find out the bottom line of China, while Meizu used this event for marketing. A similar case is the 3Q war between Tencent and Qihoo, which Zhou used for weak marketing. Very successful.
Meizu Company is the only manufacturer in China that doesn't make a fortune through Qualcomm processors, so Meizu has the courage to challenge Qualcomm head-on. A while ago, Qualcomm was fined more than 6 billion yuan for patent monopoly, so now he needs to know the bottom line of China law. In China, as long as it supports 3G and 4G mobile phones, it is impossible to avoid Qualcomm's patents, while other mobile phone manufacturers are playing with fire if they don't pay patent fees. The main chips of mobile phones are supplied by executives, so they can't be produced without money. Meizu's MediaTek core Samsung processor and Charm Blue note telecom version are outsourced to other foundries. But as I said just now, as long as mobile phones support 3G and 4G, it is impossible to avoid patent fees in Qualcomm, so. Qualcomm has been communicating with Meizu, and Qualcomm has given Meizu two agreements, one is obvious and the other is the so-called black box. Meizu doesn't know what is in the black box, so naturally it dare not sign the agreement. Obviously, one thing in the agreement is this: I used your baseband, and I have to give my patent to Gao GM for free. Meizu naturally doesn't like it. One more thing, a baseband is less than a few dollars, but Qualcomm has to charge royalties for the whole machine, that is to say, the screen, battery and other Qualcomm unrelated to Qualcomm on the mobile phone have to be charged, so the original mobile phone only needs to charge a few dollars, and it has soared to dozens of dollars.
So Meizu doesn't pay, just don't want to pay completely unnecessary money. Meizu will definitely pay the patent fee, and Meizu Qualcomm will reach an agreement sooner or later. Qualcomm just wants Meizu to pay more money, and Meizu wants Qualcomm to reach a transparent, open and non-discriminatory agreement.
