Huawei issued a statement on May 8, 20 15, saying that Huawei, as the main contributor and patentee of the 5G standard, will always abide by the FRAND (fairness, rationality and non-discrimination) principle.
Huawei is willing to continue to recommend and share more innovative technologies to industrial chain partners in standardization activities, and will never blackmail any other company or society to build a healthy 5G ecological environment through open and equal cooperation.
Never threaten any other company or society here means that Huawei will strictly abide by the FRAND principle and reduce the license fee of 5G patents as much as possible. At the same time, it has been advocating and promoting other rights holders who are committed to the implementation of 5G technology, making the cumulative patent rate lower and more transparent than 4G.
Because 5G will support the connection of 654.38+000 billion cellular devices, far exceeding 2/3/4G. Due to the increase of the base, even a low intellectual property ratio is enough to ensure the reasonable return of standard developers' investment in R&D.
