In addition, due to these patented technologies, both Apple and Qualcomm have to buy patents from Huawei. For example, Apple purchased more than 700 patent licenses from Huawei last year. At the same time, Qualcomm has also achieved patent cross-licensing with Huawei. Samsung also bought Huawei's patent. But interestingly, although there are so many patents, foreign manufacturers have them, but domestic manufacturers, such as ZTE, Xiaomi and OPPO, don't have to pay patent fees to China?
In fact, ZTE and Huawei fought a patent war several years ago, which lasted for several years. After mediation, the two sides withdrew the lawsuit, reconciled and stopped the patent war. On 20 16, a reporter asked Ren a similar question. That's why Huawei didn't ask any domestic companies about patents. Ren's answer at that time was that domestic patent protection was not perfect. We will wait until it is perfect.
Actually, this is not the main reason. Huawei doesn't want to collect patent fees from domestic manufacturers. For example, Huawei once opened the patent of ultra-high-speed charging for free. Ren Zeng said that China needs a group of responsible national enterprises to go abroad. Perhaps Huawei wants to be a responsible enterprise, instead of charging patent fees to its domestic counterparts.
