In a recent financial report, Qualcomm said that it had confirmed that it had received a sum of US$ 1.8 billion from Huawei. This news actually represents that Huawei's current chip crisis is drawing to a close, and the global patent licensing agreement has been signed by Qualcomm and Huawei. The content in the agreement is that Huawei's global patent use fee has been received.
We should all know that Qualcomm has many patents on communication, so any manufacturer who uses Qualcomm's patents on mobile phones must pay Qualcomm a patent fee. Huawei, as a major producer and seller of communication equipment, uses a lot of Qualcomm patents every year. In recent years, although Huawei's scientific research development speed is quite fast, and it has developed and controlled a lot of key patents of 5G, Qualcomm itself does not produce communication equipment, which inevitably creates giants in communication. Qualcomm does not have to pay patent fees to Huawei, but Huawei needs to give patent royalties to Qualcomm.
In fact, Guo Ping, the chairman of Huawei, said in a conversation after the accident that the supply of chips from Qualcomm was cut off: If there are no problems in all aspects, Huawei will still use Qualcomm chips as the main chip source.
In fact, for Huawei, the chips produced in Qualcomm are more important, and Qualcomm also expressed the need for customers like Huawei. Shortly after Huawei was cut off from supplying Qualcomm chips, Qualcomm strongly mentioned that if the supply of chips sold by Huawei was stopped one day, the American manufacturers would lose at least more than $8 billion in orders. If Qualcomm's application is approved, it will be a win-win situation for everyone, and we also hope that the problem of Huawei can be solved this time.
