Huawei buys patents.

Huawei can't give up developing its own chips. The normal operation of Hisilicon has made Huawei's ability to independently develop chips reach an advanced level. How can it give up easily if it has a foundation and talent? The patent fee is paid this time to alleviate the shortcomings of making chips first. Country M blocked Huawei's self-developed chips for no reason, requiring all companies using American technology not to provide chip manufacturing and product supply for Huawei. At this cusp, Huawei's primary task is to survive. Therefore, after careful consideration, it chose to reach a settlement with Qualcomm to win a promising chip supply in the future. This is only Huawei's response, and it will not be the final chapter of independent research and development of chips.

First of all, after years of accumulation, Huawei Hisilicon has enough chip self-research and design capabilities, and has caught up with the world's first queue on mobile phone chips and AI chips. In the era of global information, Huawei's core ICT business is inseparable from chips, and the design and manufacture of chips are all monopolized by European and American countries. Huawei Hisilicon has been tackling key problems independently for ten years. On the one hand, we obtained the architecture through purchasing authorization, on the other hand, we invested a lot of talents in chip design. It is on this basis that Shanghai Sine can develop mobile phone chips that can compete with Qualcomm and other established chip manufacturers at such a fast speed. However, the ARM architecture will also be forced to stop licensing. Huawei's independent research and development of chips has a long way to go, but its success at this moment inspires Huawei and the whole chip research and development industry in China. The independent research and development of chips must be available and successful.

Paying royalties to Qualcomm is actually a normal business transaction. In Huawei's mobile phone terminal industry, Qualcomm still holds a large share of 5G patent fees. Although Huawei's 5G is leading in the world, it still can't bypass Qualcomm's intellectual property rights. Therefore, as long as Huawei wants to have a good relationship with Qualcomm, it must pay this wave of patent fees. Due to the current grim situation, Huawei needs Qualcomm's help and Qualcomm's operation of Huawei, and strives to supply Huawei. Huawei needs to get rid of the containment completely, and its independent research and development of chips will not give up whether it is for profit or survival.
