The Significance of Qualcomm Anti-monopoly Case in Qualcomm Anti-monopoly Case

The fine of 6.088 billion yuan is only equivalent to 8% of the international chip giant Qualcomm's sales in China in 20 13. Qualcomm simply accepts the fine, which proves that it is completely not worried that the fine will affect its monopoly position, because there is no market subject to compete with it in this battlefield.

However, we can't underestimate the significance of NDRC's anti-monopoly punishment on Qualcomm, because it ends the patent model of "free reverse license" that Qualcomm vigorously promotes by relying on its dominant market position. This has an immeasurable and far-reaching impact on improving the competitive environment in the domestic market.

The mode of "free reverse licensing" is a "big meal" for domestic manufacturers with patent reserves, and a "protective umbrella" for those manufacturers who lack patent reserves. Nowadays, the "overlord meal" and "umbrella" are gone, and the battlefield of patent competition really begins.
