There is no right or wrong, but Qualcomm is stronger.
Qualcomm used this move to find out the bottom line of China, while Meizu used this event for marketing. A similar case was the 3Q war between Tencent and Qihoo, and Zhou Hongyi used this event for weak marketing. Very successful.
Meizu Company is the only manufacturer in China who has not made a fortune through Qualcomm processors, so Meizu has the courage to compete with Qualcomm head-on. Qualcomm was fined more than 6 billion yuan for patent monopoly a while ago, so now he needs to know the bottom line of China law. In China, as long as it supports 3G and 4G mobile phones, it is impossible to avoid Qualcomm's patents, while other mobile phone manufacturers are playing with fire if they don't pay patent fees. The main chips of mobile phones are supplied in high tubes, and they can't be produced without paying. And Meizu's MediaTek-core Samsung processor and Charm Blue note Telecom Edition are outsourced to other foundries. But as I said just now, as long as the mobile phone supports 3G and 4G, it is impossible to avoid the patent fees in Qualcomm, so. Qualcomm has been communicating with Meizu, and Qualcomm gave Meizu two agreements, one of which was obvious, and the other was the so-called black box. Meizu didn't know what was in the black box, so naturally it didn't dare to sign the agreement. One thing in the obvious agreement was like: I used your baseband and had to give my patent to Gao GM for free, so Meizu naturally didn't like it. One more thing, a baseband is less than a few dollars, but Qualcomm has to charge the patent fee according to the whole machine, that is to say, the screen, battery, and other Qualcomm on the mobile phone that has nothing to do with Qualcomm have to be charged, so that the original mobile phone only needs to charge a few dollars, which has suddenly soared to several tens of dollars.
therefore, Meizu does not want to pay money, but does not want to pay money that is not necessary at all. Meizu will definitely pay the patent fee, and Meizu Qualcomm will reach an agreement sooner or later. Qualcomm just wants Meizu to pay more money, while Meizu wants Qualcomm to achieve a transparent, open and non-discriminatory agreement.
